How can I migrate Alby Hub to a different machine?
You can migrate your Alby Hub to another instance and recover all your funds. This ensures you have full control and flexibility over your Hub. You can safely stop it and move your hub whenever you want.
Alby Hub is encrypted with the password you chose during setup. Only you can access and decrypt its contents, even if it is on the cloud. And only you can migrate your Alby Hub.
Migrations from Alby Cloud for Alby Hubs started after after February 18, 2025, are currently not supported.
Migrations of an Alby Hub with VSS (automatic channel backups) enabled without an active subscription are not possible at the moment.
Migrations from default Alby Hubs and to LND-based Alby Hubs (e.g. Umbrel or Start9) and vice versa are not supported currently.
If you choose to migrate, make sure to have your 12-word keys and unlock password securely backed up. 🔒 Continue at your own discretion.
During and after the migration, do not turn on your original Alby Hub instance any more.
We are happy to assist you in the migration.
Congratulations! 🎉You’ve mastered the migration of your Alby Hub to another instance, ensuring full control and flexibility. Just remember to keep your original instance offline during the process and have your Unlock Password, 12-word key backup, and node backup file ready. Your Hub is now fully functional again! 💪🔐
