It sounds like you bought the cloud version of Alby Hub, and you may not have been aware of what that entails. Alby Hub is a self-custody Lightning node. That means, before you can connect it to your Alby account, you will need to set up Lightning channels and all that jazz.
Were you wanting to run a self-custody Lightning node in the cloud, or do you just want a custodial wallet you can link to your Alby account? If the latter, I would reach out to the Alby (npub1get…0nfm) folks and ask for a refund, since you weren't aware of what you were buying.
From there, I can help you get set up with a custodial wallet like Coinos (npub1h2q…w8ch) or even Minibits (npub1kva…tkzv), which can be connected to your Alby account if you desire.
