Installing the bridge (Linux) ​

INFO

For help, ask in #help on our Discord or open an issue on GitHub. Please add what you tried and what the setup page or docker logs wa-classic shows.

WARNING

On a Raspberry Pi you need the 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS.

Installing Docker ​

Open a terminal and run Docker's official install script:

sh
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh

Starting the bridge ​

sh
sudo docker run -d --name wa-classic --restart unless-stopped -p 8097:8097 -p 25567:25567 -v wa-classic-data:/data ghcr.io/aronsz26/wa-classic-bridge:latest

It downloads the bridge (a few hundred MB), starts it, and starts it again after every reboot. There's nothing else to do: the bridge starts with the computer.
