and restart as docker restart mongodb docker restart wapi the sessions disappered

my server resources is 2 GB Memory / 2 Intel vCPUs / 70 GB Disk / FRA1 Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS) x64 and waha only work with 2 sessions

Sessions also not saved here. my docker-compose script:

whatsapp: image: devlikeapro/waha:latest container_name: whatsapp environment:

• WHATSAPP_RESTART_ALL_SESSIONS=True
• WHATSAPP_FILES_LIFETIME=0
• WHATSAPP_FILES_FOLDER=/app/.media volumes:
• /home/docker/whatsapp/:/app/.sessions
• /home/docker/whatsapp/media:/app/.media ports:
• "3100:3000" restart: unless-stopped

folder are writeable for all (for testing purposes) running version: { "version": "2024.6.2", "engine": "WEBJS", "tier": "CORE", "browser": "/usr/bin/chromium" } maybe same issue, but media is not saved either.

Thank you for answer but when i started to use mongodb as database , sessions are saved in database , so on restart it should recovered to the container again

@Momaiz for mongodb case - there's no persistent storage connected to mongodb. Sorry about that, we put example (not ready for production) in the document, will fix it!

Try this one:

   docker run -d -p 27017:27017 --name mongodb -v mongo-data:/data/db mongo

OR consider using docker-compose setup - two required services: https://github.com/devlikeapro/waha/blob/core/docker-compose.yaml#L46-L80

"tier": "CORE",

That's the reason for your case. Saving sessions between container restarts requires PLUS docker image
