Alby Hub can not connect to your Lightning Node Container on Port 10009. Did you try to restart it?
yes sir, the lightning node that was running on it is also not starting, I can’t generate the logs currently, ive got a weekend fiat job serving bbq, nice weather too, will be super busy, Monday I can get the logs
finally some time to try to fix this. I decided to uninstal both and use my recovery phrases. Alby Hub uninstalled okay but my lightning node can’t uninstall and it wont start. I think it was my lightning node that stopped my Alby Hub. I can’t see or understand the logs but I am kind of stuck now
hopefully someone can help a pleb out

Looks to me, it can not open the Lightning Database and gets a Panic:
2025-12-23 17:14:58.403 [INF] LTND: Opening the main database, this might take a few minutes…

If UmbrelOS UI will not Uninstall it so you can start over, you will need to ssh in and use the docker commands to remove that image manually.
Without giving full instructions, the command that you will start with is:
sudo docker ps
Find the name of the container, remove it and to be safe, I would remove the docker image as well.
Be sure to have all your Lightning Recovery data needed to restore your Node.
Hope that helps.
any ideas on how to navigate this
“docker ps -a
permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get “http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.44/containers/json?all=1”: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied”
Did you try to use ( sudo ) ?
For example :
ssh umbrel@umbrel.local
sudo docker ps -a
You need to have root access for that command and that is done by using the sudo command …
sudo docker ps -a
It will prompt for your UmbrelOS Password you set up.
Roger that, thank you, i was able to run the commands. Ended up not being able to remove the containers, however, i was able to see everything that was connecting to the lightning node, so i started removing those apps, like NWC and another, I did remove a few docker images, one was the Alby hub that had been uninstalled without an error , but was probably also hung up on all the other junk i had going on. finally, i was able to stop my BTC node, and uninstall the lightning node. I recovered everything, including the funds from my Alby wallet, the channel funds will take a few days though, last time i ran into issues, it took way longer to get back up, thank you for the direction.
