Does it make sense for me to run an Alby hub if I run my own node and use LND linked up to Zeus?

Of course it makes sense. If you install Alby Hub on your node, you'll get

an Alby lightning address
simple connections to many apps. So you can pay directly out of your own node in apps. e.g. here on StackerNews.

What happens to my existing alby account?

But is set up easy? I use a node in a box like Start9

You can connect Alby Hub to your existing LND node. Alby Hub works on Start9 and Umbrel

on start9 and umbrel it’s a one click install. have a look here: https://demos.getalby.com/demo/clyrptmva0jkkz9kdzkavmkhx

Think link is a demo for umbel. I didn’t see anything for Start9

Try here!

Thanks🥳
