Alby
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
.. note:: This guide assumes you have already setup LNbits as per :ref:`this guide <connecting-lnbits>`.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: This will work with either LND *or* CLN as your underlying node!
|
|
|
|
Alby is a browser extension that can be connected to your lightning node a number of ways. This guide will go over connecting via LNbits which allows allocation of funds.
|
|
|
|
Make sure you are already :ref:`running Tor<connecting-tor>` on your system and we suggest using Firefox which must be :ref:`configured to use Tor.<configuring-ff>`
|
|
|
|
#. Download the Alby extension by visiting the `Alby Github <https://github.com/getAlby/lightning-browser-extension#installation>`_, selecting your browser, and installing.
|
|
#. On the Alby welcome screen, select **Get Started**.
|
|
#. Create a strong password and store it somewhere safe, like your Vaultwarden password manager.
|
|
#. On the next screen, select **Other Wallets** and click **Connect**.
|
|
|
|
#. Click **Start9** then **LNbits**:

#. Head back to Alby and paste what you just copied into **LNbits URL**, select **Tor (native)** then hit **Continue**:

|
|
|
|
.. tip:: Make sure to include the http:// at the start of the address. If it is not working make sure that you are already :ref:`running Tor<connecting-tor>` on your system and that your browser is :ref:`configured to use Tor.<configuring-ff>`
|
|
|
|
#. Once connected you should see the following success page:

|
|
|
|
Alby is now connected to your lightning node via LNbits!
|
|
|
|
#. In addition to allocating sats to this wallet via the LNbits Superuser Account (see "Funding LNbits section" :ref:`here<connecting-lnbits>`), you can also receive funds the normal way by hitting **Receive** within Alby.

|
|
|
|
.. note:: Funds received this way must be sent from another lightning node, not the node underneath LNbits. A lightning payment that originates and terminates at the same node is technically a rebalance, not a normal payment.

|
You're now setup with Alby and LNbits! |
