I've added a link to that documentation in #3254, but have been unsuccessful in completing it. A few issues:
hs_token
and as_token
may or may not have to be identical, I didn't manage to get it running either way.At this point, I'm very curious about people who have made the switch already, did you get any message history without db migration? A meta bridge issue mentions backfill, does that pull in old messages?
Migration did not work for me and i had to manually remove each room from my matrix element session and then re-add the chats... it was painful but fine in the end
@Joshndroid But did you get chat history? 😱
@jswetzen no I lost all history. I am not too concerned with the Facebook messages history though so was okay.
I was more annoyed that I ran everything and it never did the clean up/out. It was weird at first as I thought that the new bridge was broken until I realised that it was the old Facebook bridge rooms and I needed to find the new ones created by the new meta bridge and delete the old ones
I lost all history as well, but got hundreds of extra rooms.
The old bridge only created rooms as they were used, this one pulled out to I think at least 6 months.
Meta started to enable their e2e encryption automatically, even though I refused to set their PIN thingy for long months:
It seems I can't delay the migration any longer. I'll let you know if I succeed.
I've started preparing to run migration, but didn't take the plunge yet. I think these configuration variables will be needed to match the old bot username etc. at least.
matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_appservice_username_prefix: facebook

matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_version: latest
matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_bridge_permissions_custom:

I needed version because db migration wasn't enabled in the meta_messenger version used by default. Good luck @MrAnno !
Hi,
Last week, a migration path from mautrix-facebook to mautrix-meta was published by upstream:
https://github.com/mautrix/docs/blob/master/bridges/go/meta/facebook-migration.md
I couldn't find anything similar in the playbook, so I thought it might be worth opening an issue and discussing the current migration method.
