Also, I see this in the SN FAQ:

`there could be an issue paying your receiving wallet
if the zap is small and you don't have a direct channel to SN, the routing fee may exceed SN's 3% max fee`

So there seems to be an advantage in opening a direct channel?

Official Alby Hub guide

- Can you explain why it gets expensive when I open a channel with SN directly? 
- What are the cheapest channel to open? And how do I fund this wallet, it has 0 sats and no channels open.

Also, another thing for the guide is that it is probably wise to not run the config portal on a public IP, to expose the node config to the open internet?
I run Docker bound to localhost
```bash
docker run -d \
  --privileged \
  --name albyhub \
  -v /nail/alby/data:/data \
  -e WORK_DIR='/data' \
  -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
  ghcr.io/getalby/hub:latest
```
then ssh'd to my server with an SSH tunnel 
```
ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 me@myserver.com
```
and then accessed the portal via
`http://localhost:8080/`
in my browser
