alby hub in homelab : internet or electricity outage

286 sats \ 3 comments \ @trieska 28 Aug lightning

I have a plan to run alby hub on my home server.

I am guessing that in case internet connectivity or electricity outage I will not ably to receive payment. Is that correct?

What happen to sats which was send? or if my alby hub is down then sender will get some "error" message and he will not send any sats?

I am just phoenix user and dont know much about LN, so maybe I am asking "stupid" questions.

thanks

Just open private (unannounced) channels and all will be OK. A private node it doesn't have to be online 24/7, only when you want to do some transactions.

And read my guides: https://darth-coin.github.io/

ok, I did start to read docs about private and public channels and looks that alby hub is opening private by default.

hope by private you mean that kind of type of channel.

and thanks for you guides ...

In order to receive payments through the lightning network, the node needs to be online. When your device is off, simply the sender could not send you sats, they will see some error
