yowsup is a python library that implements WhatsApp's protocol. Through this docker image you are able to access yowsup's command line client and run different commands such as sending messages, creating groups, updating profile and many other things.
#Installation
docker pull tgalal/yowsup
#usage
Add --debug to any of the commands to get an insight on the actual protocol and see all incoming and outgoing data in your console.
yowsup will need access to a persistent storage to store generated keys data inside, used at registration and for login with e2e encryption enabled to work. Therefore you'll need to mount a host dir at /root/.yowsup in each docker run command.
##Registration
docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup tgalal/yowsup registration --cc COUNTRYCODE --phone NUMBER --requestcode sms
or
docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup tgalal/yowsup registration --cc COUNTRYCODE --phone NUMBER --requestcode voice
note that the phone number must also begin with the specified country code
docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup tgalal/yowsup registration --cc COUNTRYCODE --phone NUMBER --register CODE
Save the returned password as you will need it for login
##Clients
docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup -it tgalal/yowsup demos --login PHONE:PASSWORD --yowsup
This will start yowsup shell, type /L to login
Yowsup Cli client
==================
Type /help for available commands
\[offline]: /L
This echoes back all received messages
docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup tgalal/yowsup demos --login PHONE:PASSWORD --echo
Login, send a message, exit
docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup tgalal/yowsup demos --login PHONE:PASSWORD --send CONTACT_PHONE MESSAGE
To use e2e encryption in any of the clients, pass --moxie in any of the commands. For example:
docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup -it tgalal/yowsup demos --login PHONE:PASSWORD --yowsup --moxie
