When you run the playbook with an existing database file (`/matrix/mautrix-whatsapp/mautrix-whatsapp.db`), the playbook will stop the bridge and relocate the database file to the `./data` directory. There's no data-loss involved. You'll need to restart the bridge manually though (`--tags=start`). + +We're now following the default configuration for the WhatsApp bridge. + # 2019-06-20 ## (BC Break) IRC bridge configuration is now entirely managed by the playbook
