Unfortunately it's issue by whatsapp web js and if you wanted to use this, you need to update the source. need to update the web cache + use whatsapp web js (webpack-exodus branch) inside package.js

update package.js

inside docker-compose.yaml

from

  app:
    container_name: whatsapp_web_api
    image: chrishubert/whatsapp-web-api:latest # Pull the image from Docker Hub

to

  app:
    container_name: whatsapp_web_api
    build:
      context: . #do
      dockerfile: Dockerfile 

and the environment add

    environment:
      - WEB_VERSION_CACHE_TYPE=REMOTE
      - WEB_VERSION=2.3000.1012536975-alpha

Dockerfile change to

# Use the official Node.js Alpine image as the base image
FROM node:20-alpine

# Set the working directory
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# Install Chromium and Git
ENV CHROME_BIN="/usr/bin/chromium-browser" \
    PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD="true" \
    NODE_ENV="production"

RUN set -x \
    && apk update \
    && apk upgrade \
    && apk add --no-cache \
       udev \
       ttf-freefont \
       chromium \
       git

# Copy package.json and package-lock.json to the working directory
COPY package*.json ./

# Install the dependencies
RUN npm install --only=production

# Copy the rest of the source code to the working directory
COPY . .

# Expose the port the API will run on
EXPOSE 3000

# Start the API
CMD ["npm", "start"]

later just docker compose up will do.

I managed to resolve here #190

[andrew-belyi]

this temp solution is working I did:

• updated package,json to pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js#webpack-exodus
• changed variables WEB_VERSION_CACHE_TYPE=REMOTE, WEB_VERSION=2.3000.1012536975-alpha

Im running not via docker, but using npm run start command

Thanks!

[chrishubert]

Please use the latest docker version 🙏

[raffus]

Even after doing all the tips shown here, I'm unable to connect the number. Callback shows:

I've noticed that when installing github:pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js#webpack-exodus, npm tries to install an old puppeter version (18.2.1), which seems not being supported anymore. May this be the trick? How to fix it?

Please help.

Thanks
