#asknostr #bitcoin #plebchain nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm I am assuming that Alby Hub runs in the background on my nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll node. However today nostr:npub1jdvvva54m8nchh3t708pav99qk24x6rkx2sh0e7jthh0l8efzt7q9y7jlj said he couldn’t zap me. My Alby Go wallet wasn’t syncing this morning. So I logged into my node to take a look. Everything looks fine. Now my Alby Go is syncing and showing my expected balance. Is there something I’m missing with Alby Hub? Is there some setting I need for it not to ‘go to sleep’ or something? I have not had any trouble zapping. And that runs through AH too. Any thoughts Alby or anyone?

Don't need to leave the UI open. But if Alby Hub or your server restarts, you need to log in to the UI to unlock the DB. This is fixed in the next version of Alby Hub where you can enable an "auto unlock" feature

Disappointing. I enabled the autolock feature about a week ago, last night boom! Logged out again. Missed out on zaps for some great notes. Looking for alternative solutions as this is getting beyond frustrating. No power outages, no internet interruptions, node online for months, alby hub logs me out atleast once a month, and now its more like once a week 😟

Interesting. Are all of you running Albyhub on a StartOS node? Lots of people using Albyhub experience no issues. Six months of uninterrupted service for me on an ARM server with vanilla Ubuntu, only running Haven Nostr Relay adjacent to it. However, on my installation I changed the ports from 8033 to 8029, because 8033 is officially registered on IANA to MindPrint, whatever that might be. So my hypothesis: 1. Something from StartOS distro is conflicting with port 8033, hence it would be prudent for StartOS to ship it with an unregistered port. 2. And/or upstream, Albyhub could "officially" ship it with some other port. 8029 is not registered. Please nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcprdmhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vfwde3x7tnpdenkzmnf9e3k75xqss4 and nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz3rhwvaz7tekd3jks6rev3ehyargv9nk66tnxe6h2dn5w43kuerk0fmnwcm4vfc8z6mgweu8j7fhdfhkjmmrxs6k66mnwg6x2cty9ehku6t0dchsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxjmnxduhs5nd6j2, weigh in on this. It could be such a minor detail keeping people from "technically" installing it on the background and "forgetting it". Otherwise, we might have bigger problems due to running BTC Core along side these apps. Back around v18 and v19, I would often experience complete hogging of TCP connections, crippling every other address on the network the node was connected to.

What do you mean by "Logged Out"? you can be "logged out" of the UI but Alby Hub is still running. You can check if the page says "Start" or "Log in". Logging in just gives you access to the UI. How do you know your lightning address is not accessible? did you try to pay yourself? can you contact Alby Support next time it happens so we can debug it?

Thank you kindly nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqzk6u7mxlflguqteghn8q7xtu47hyerruv6379c36l8lxzzr4x90q8tg5jd . Looked through the commits on Alby's Github, both ARM and X86 scripts and indeed it was from 8080 to 8029. The file I have on my server somewhat shows 8033 with a note warning about it, dated back to September, but I cannot recall why other than a small discussion, my apologies. So digging around nostr:nprofile1q9z8wue69uhnvmr9dp58jernwf6xsct8d45hxdn4w5m8gatrdej8v7nhxa3h2cnsw94ksanc09unw6n0d9hkxdp4d44hxu35v4skgtn0de5k7m30qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqzq44xkafh8j8hhy79809wsmv0lw46nu4pkwqjyp20ekml80mytde8phfu08 GitHub files, I noticed they run Albyhub with Docker, which in this case would be my initial suspicion, however further their installation script puts Albyhub listening to only port 8080. Have a look please, line 102: https://github.com/Start9Labs/albyhub-startos/blob/main/docker_entrypoint.sh We could be onto something!
