failed to npm run sessiondata [UPDATE README]

[sicenul]

This is my first try, so I follow readme instruction.

git clone url && cd folder
npm run sessiondata

and it's failed with the following logs:

Am I did something wrong? Please enlighten me. Thanks in advance. I'm using linuxmint 20.1

@sicenul there are some major changes coming to this repo. One of which is you no longer need to use docker-compose.

Please try

> docker run -e PORT=8080 -p 8080:8080 openwa/wa-automate:latest

and just scan the qr code normally, it should save the session data in the container by default then

thanks

Hi there,

nice to hear that! And it works fantastically!

But why is this (and maybe other) information not on the front page of this project? ;)

Cheers, Marcel
