How to restart Alby Hub after my subscription was cancelled?
If your hosted Alby Hub subscription remained unpaid for several weeks, your Hub was shut down and the subscription was automatically cancelled.
This prevents your Alby Account from accumulating additional charges.
You can restore your Hub at any time by self-hosting it and importing your existing recovery phrase:
Set up a self-hosted Alby Hub on a device of your choice — see the deployment options for desktop, cloud, and node hardware.
During onboarding, connect the Hub to the same Alby Account you used previously — this is required to restore your encrypted channel backups.
Click “Advanced Setup”
Click "Import Existing Recovery Phrase"
Choose an unlock password (can be the same as your old one, or a new one) and then enter your 12-word recovery phrase.
Your on-chain balance is recovered from your recovery phrase. To recover lightning channel balances as well, your Hub must have had encrypted channel backups enabled before it was shut down.
