是否可以在 Docker 容器中使用whatsapp web？

Question

I have created a microservice infrastructure to send messages to customers via WhatsApp. A microservice is there to forward the message via REST API to a notification provider who then sends the WhatsApp. For the service to work, I need WhatsApp Web. If she starts my microservice and wants to send a message, it works even if I am logged in via WhatsApp Web.

Now to the problem:

I packed the microservice in Docker Container so that I can start it as a web service at Azure or AWS. However, sending the WhatsApp message doesn't work because I don't have an interface in the Docker container to WhatsApp Web. Is there a way to create the interface in the Docker container to WhatsApp Web without having to scan a QR code?

Is there a way to create the interface in the Docker container to WhatsApp Web without having to scan a QR code?

The answer is NO

But you can run Chrome inside docker and use CDP to control it. That said, you can access QRCode via VNC and scan. Or you can create something like venom-bot to wrap it.

Karate is a Java test Automation Tool that uses CDP to achieve this.
