 So I was reading @npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll user manual again and I couldn't find  guide on how to use @npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Lightning Address to receive payments directly to my StartOS server. Not sure if this is 100% safe or correct but this is what I did.
Step 1. Get a new macacoon from StartOS Thunderhub.
Go to Thunderhub > Tools > Bakery. Bake a new macaroon with ONLY "Create Invoices" and "Get Invoices" checked Yes. Copy the HEX macaroon for Step 3 use later.

Step 2. Get your StartOS LND REST API Host Address.
Go to LND > Inferfaces > Control Interface (gRPC and REST connection). Get the Tor Address but use https instead of http and add port number 8080 at the end of the address e.g. https://somelongtext.onion:8080. (Warning: Do NOT use/copy the full LND Connect REST URL that you find under Properties as it includes the full access admin macaroon.)

Step 3. Get Alby to connect to your StartOS server.
Login to getalby.com > Dashboard. Go to Settings, enter the macaroon and LND REST from Step 1 and Step 2, the click "Connect your node" to save.

That's it!
