Alby hub has integrated ldk node with nice channel management features. It can also work with other ln implementations like lnd which is like adding a nwc interface.

I like the integrated ldk node, its very simple. But i want to remove the dependency of alby's relay 

 You can use any nostr relay. Nothing special about nwc 

 Alby hub generates nwc strings with relay.getalby.com/v1. I cant just change the relay in the string, right? Alby hub is listening to the relay it generates in the nwc string? 

 You can change the relay for your hub via environment variable:

You can't just change the connection string manually, since the hub needs to know which relay to listen to for incoming requests. 

 Gracias!
