Setting up Appservice Slack bridging (optional, removed)

🪦 The playbook used to be able to install and configure matrix-appservice-slack, but no longer includes this component, as it had been unavailable for new installation since 2024, and was finally abandoned because the public Matrix.org Slack bridge has been decommissioned on January 14th, 2026.

Note: Bridging to Slack can also happen via the mautrix-slack bridge supported by the playbook.

Uninstalling the component manually

If you still have matrix-appservice-slack installed on your Matrix server, the playbook can no longer help you uninstall it and you will need to do it manually. To uninstall manually, run these commands on the server:

systemctl disable --now matrix-appservice-slack.service

rm -rf /matrix/appservice-slack

/matrix/postgres/bin/cli-non-interactive -c 'DROP DATABASE matrix_appservice_slack;'
