Alby Hub for desktop is well-suited for self-hosting for users who have a basic understanding of software configuration and network settings, and have their computers online 24/7 in order to send or receive payments. Therefore, consider this option if you keep the desktop computer always online.

😄 For a reliable 24/7 payment service we recommend you to subscribe for Alby Cloud and have your self-custodial wallet online in the cloud. 👍☁️🐝

Linux Troubleshooting: Common Errors

• Ubuntu 22.04 Crash on Startup: If AlbyHub crashes on startup, try running sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37. This resolves a known issue with missing dependencies.

• Blank White Screen with Graphics Acceleration: If after installing the necessary libraries, AlbyHub still shows a blank white screen, launch the app with the command export WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 to disable the problematic renderer.

• Server Version Recommendation: For users experiencing persistent issues, we recommend using the server version of AlbyHub. It lacks a GUI, making it less prone to graphical errors.
