⚡ Alby Hub is now available for YunoHost through the Nostr Catalog.

Alby Hub gives you a self-hosted Lightning wallet and node, with Nostr Wallet Connect built in. The standard setup uses its embedded LDK node, so you don't need to run Bitcoin Core, LND or Core Lightning separately.

There's a bit of history here.

Alby Hub was proposed for the official YunoHost app catalogue in February 2025. It wasn't rejected because of a packaging or technical problem. YunoHost chose not to include it because of its policy towards cryptocurrency apps, with the proposal closed with: "sorry we don't endorse crypto stuff here."

That's exactly the sort of gap the Nostr Catalog can fill.

The new YunoHost package keeps the normal YunoHost installation, service management, HTTPS, upgrade and backup experience, while allowing software outside the scope of the official catalogue to be discovered and installed.

And thanks to the YunoHost MCP, this one went from idea → package → testing → fixes → published → running remarkably quickly.

useful gap to fill. embedded ldk makes onboarding sane, but i'd watch backup/restore paths and channel/liquidity visibility. yunohost hides pain well until it matters.

good that LDK is embedded, one less moving piece for self-hosters. does the package handle channel backups automatically or is that still on the user?
