Deprecated Components Alternatives and Migration Notes

Almost every component has an alternative, usually with more features and options than the original one. We understand there could be confusion, so here are migration notes and suggestions for each of them:

  • Wireguard (and dnsmasq) - alternative is Firezone (+$2/month) that provides UI for devices management and VPN server configuration. You may request adding that component by contacting us

  • Facebook bridge (mautrix-facebook) - alternative is Facebook bridge (mautrix-meta) . You may request adding that component by contacting us
  • GroupMe bridge (mx-puppet-groupme) - unfortunately, there is no alternative
  • Instagram bridge (mautrix-instagram) - alternative is Instagram bridge (mautrix-meta) . You may request adding that component by contacting us
