  @Alby My #Albyhub restarted and now my lightning channel disappeared and now I can't send or receive zaps?

Is there a way to restore the channel?

I'm running it locally in a docker hub.

 It sounds like a lot of channels got forced closed during that fee spike the other day.

 Its not just Alby to be fair. This often happens when fees suddenly spike.

 if it was force closed, the sats will be back in ~2 weeks. 
Usually best to have a least 2 channels open.
i know it sucks.

 Hey there! 😊

Great news we were able to open a channel for you again, thanks to the goodwill of the LSP most affected by this situation. They handled everything very professionally. We’ve also sent an email with instructions to everyone who was affected. If you have any more questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@getalby.com.

Thank you for your understanding! 🌟
