Select "Advanced Setup" to be able to choose all these options.

Electrum server have nothing to do with Alby. Electrum server is for onchain data not for LN channels.
Options for you:
-
Install LND node and connect it to Alby. Alby hub will act as LN node management for your LND. You will need some information from your new LND node to input in the Alby setup.https://m.stacker.news/50399

Install Esplora and then select from Alby hub the option with LSK backend. Then configure that Esplora server for your LDK node. By default LDK node will be configured with Blockstream Esplora, but that one is slow and you could have issues with syncing. Better run your own if you already have a node.

The simplest one is to use ecash mint as backend. No need for any LN node to run.
Bonus, using https://zap.store/download/ you can instal also Alby Go and link it to your Alby Hub and using as your mobile wallet on the go...
damn it, I should write that guide about using Alby Hub for noobs
I think I expressed myself badly, I did mean that LND needs to connect to bitcoind and it is connecting directly over RPC and electrum is not used.
Trying find out what Esplora server is but I think it will duplicate my bitcoind. So I think that I should run LND on my server which will talk to my bitcoind and AlbyHub will talk to my LND.

Yes, that's it.
