Hey all! I do appreciate your work!
Two things on my mind...
  1. I would love to put Alby hub on the Sovran Pro. It would need to be in a flake (NixOS). Could that be possible?
  2. What about having CLN as a backend as well for Alby Hub?
Thanks so much!

  1. yeah! let's do that. I am not super experienced with Nix recently, but that should be easy. let's do it!
  2. CLN is not planned currently actually.

Can you help me with the Nix package? I looked into it but don't have the experience and the setup right now.

Yes, sure thing. I use Matrix, XMPP, SIMPLEX, or NOSTR for communication. Let me know which one can work for you.

I tried running the provided Linux binary of Alby Hub on NixOS and it didn't work. I get the error described here (cannot execute: required file not found).
Apparently, there are some solutions but I am also not that experienced with nix yet. Just wanted to let y'all in this thread know that I would also be interested in running Alby Hub on NixOS.
When I have time, I will look deeper into this.

Oh interesting. It will be great if we can get it going in NixOS.
Yes, we call all discuss this in my own Matrix group if you wish.

that sounds like you have a build for the wrong environment. On what kind of machine do you run it?

Can Sovran Pro run docker? If yes, then you can already run it https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/alby-hub-flavors/docker
As for second question I'll leave that to @bumi or @rolznz

Yes, as it is NixOS and it can run docker well. However, we like to keep things docker free. As keeping everything in NixOS is a better build experience and maintenance.
So, I guess it was more of specific thing for us and not really a concern of you all. :)
