old Phoenix app?
maybe with the app you have less control than using phoenixd itself. For example, can you retrieve http-password and http-password-limited-access from the app?
If I want to use phoenixd node, I would run it as a backend to LNbits or Alby HUb. I have waaaaay more options to manage and use it. If I want a simple UI as a "on-the-go" wallet, I can use Alby Go app that is so fucking simple, connected to an Alby Hub with phoenixd backend funding. And with that I can get NWC and multiple accounts too, with the same server. With this app what can I get? Same as a normal Phoenix app, nothing else.

True... valid option to explore! BTW, just published this guide for phoenixd, your input will be appreciated!

How do you do Phoenixd backend for Albyhub?
reply
  1. Select "Advanced setup"
  2. Select "Phoenixd" backend
  3. Input the phoenixd server details (is supposed that you have it previously installed).
Done. In less than 10 seconds is up and running.

I'll have to try it out one day. I'm running Albyhub on start9 at the moment

If you already have it running with your own LN backend from Start9, why do you need anything else?
AlbyHub + phoenixd is more for those users that:
  • do not have a proper LN node
  • do not want to get involved with managing LN channels and liquidity
  • do not want to buy real HW for a node, it can be run on any simple PC with 4GB RAM and a decent Linux (even on Windows). Or can be run on any cheap VPS.

Its working great with start9, I'm just interested in trying phoenixd for managing liquidity.
reply
Leave that Start9 + Alby alone as it is. Try a new phoenixd + alby Hub on another simple PC.
trying phoenixd for managing liquidity.
There's nothing to manage, it works exactly like a normal Phoenix wallet.

Yeah, the other thing with phoenixd is to be able to use bolt12. I'll try on another device

Shameless plug but on Nodana, if you choose a phoenixd node when you create your Alby Hub then you don’t even need to do the steps that @DarthCoin has listed. It will automatically be configured and your node will be available to your hub over the internal network.
