Alby Hub gives users full control over their funds while making Lightning payments easy to use across apps, browsers, and services. With a 1-Click deployment, you can quickly run your own always-on wallet service without managing complex infrastructure.

Software Included

Creating an App using the Control Panel

Click the Deploy to DigitalOcean button to create a Droplet based on this 1-Click App. If you aren’t logged in, this link will prompt you to log in with your DigitalOcean account.

Creating an App using the API

In addition to creating a Droplet from the Alby Hub 1-Click App using the control panel, you can also use the DigitalOcean API. As an example, to create a 4GB Alby Hub Droplet in the SFO2 region, you can use the following curl command. You need to either save your API access token to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$TOKEN'' -d \
        '{"name":"choose_a_name","region":"sfo2","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb","image":"alby-albyhub"}' \
        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"

Getting Started After Deploying Alby Hub

Once the droplet has deployed, open http://your_droplet_public_ipv4

Click Get Started and follow the setup flow in Alby Hub.

During setup, save any important recovery or backup information shown by Alby Hub. Your Hub data is stored on your droplet, but you should still keep your own backup so you can recover or migrate your Hub later.
