WhatsApp-Proxy

Configuring WhatsApp proxy using cloud-init on ubuntu

Deploy a Whatsapp proxy server on Linux (Tested on Ubuntu)

For this you need a VPS Service that gives you cloud-init feature.

For example, Digital Ocean has cloud-init feature called Add Initialization scripts
Note: You can start with the most basic VPS.

I'm going to walk you through installing this proxy.
for the sake of simplicity, I'm using digital ocean.

Digital Ocean

1. Login to digital ocean
   
2. In Droplets > Create Droplets
   
3. After choosing the location, ubuntu version, resources, ... click on the Advanced Options and check the Add Initialization scripts (free).
   
4. Now copy/paste the code below.
   

5. whatsapp.yaml

#cloud-config

package_update: true
package_upgrade: true

packages:
 - ca-certificates
 - curl
 - gnupg
 - lsb-release
 - git
 
runcmd:
  - sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
  - curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
  - echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
  - sudo apt-get update
  - sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin
  - git clone https://github.com/WhatsApp/proxy.git $HOME/whatsapp-proxy
  - docker compose -f $HOME/whatsapp-proxy/proxy/ops/docker-compose.yml up -d

6. Click on `Create Droplet`
7. Just give it a minute so the script execute.
8. Now log into the server.

9. Run the following command

tail -f /var/log/cloud-init-output.log

By default, it will run the proxy on ports: 80, 443, and 5222.
If you don't want it to expose on ports 80, 443 before you run the script navigate to this directory and change the ports in docker-compose file.

cd ~/whatsapp-proxy/proxy/ops/docker-compose.yml

11. Now, go to whatsapp and put your IPv4 address + port into the proxy section.
And that's it. :)

Just in case you want to support me, I'd realy appriciate it.
