I am trying to set up Alby Hub on StartOS.

Is Bitcoin Core required? It sounds that Alby Hub has a dependency on LND, and LND is dependent on Bitcoin Core. Is that the required sequence?

I am learning, so any help will be appreciated.

Yes Bitcoin core is required. It's the center of bitcoin transactions. Lightning depends on bitcoin core. Why? When you open channels with peers on Lightning, the onchain funds needs to be registered how much was added to the Lightning network and vice versa when you close channels. Before you open...

I set up albyhub using ldk not lnd I'm pretty sure (and yes, Core).

both are optional. you can choose either to use it with the start9 LND or use the embedded node in the hub. whatever you prefer. LND requires bitcoin core
