Whatsapp Business API production setup not working

I am trying to configure or setup the production environment of whatsapp business api as mentioned in the link https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/installation/prod-single-instance I have done everything mentioned in this my dockers are also running on port:9090 as can be seen in the image enter image description here still I can't access it. Whenever I try to call https://localhost:9090 the error with "This site can’t be reached" occurs. Whatsapp business api does not have good documentation or tutorials till now. So this site is the only last way for me.

I had a similar problem which could be your case, I saw the docker containers OK but nothing was working. After a day searching I saw where it happened, my problem was I installed mysql MANUALLY (not docker container) in the same instance where docker is running and in db.env I just used 127.0.0.1, this was passed literally to docker container, then looking at a the wait_on_mysql.sh script, the whastapp docker containers were waiting util the mysql ip has conectivity to actually do something and was printing "MySQL is not up yet - sleeping" each second, of course they wouldn't find any conectivity.

Since my instalation is for development, and I am already using such database to other stuff, my solution was to use the 172.17.0.1(docker gateway of the containers) IP instead, then add two sets of network iptables rules to the host to redirect from the docker containers IP to the IP binded by mysql when using such port (3306, the default in my case). After that everything works well. I think there are better solutions, but I didn't want to go far on it, you should evaluate you case if apply.

check the command:

docker-compose logs > debug_output.txt

That gives you insight about whats happening, hope it can helps someone.

Has your db also been setup? I cannot see it in the docker screenshot.

Also - you have to accept the certificate, as it does not have a public CA issues certificate.

I think your setup is already complete. You just need to start with the registration process and start sending messages. The containers are up and running but calling https://localhost:9090 won't send you any response as this is not any specified API endpoint expected to be used.

Since you're using prod single instance, the documentation can be found here which seems pretty straight forward. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/installation/prod-single-instance

You seem to have completed till the 7 steps. The next step can be to perform a health check to make sure it is healthy. The API endpoint for that would be https://localhost:9090/v1/health https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/api/health
