WAHA 2025.1
On this page
We are thrilled to announce the changes we made during the WAHA 2025.1 release.
GOWS engine
Meet GOWS – a new, fast, super-reliable, and stable Engine for your WAHA instance!
GOWS engine does not require a browser to work with WhatsApp Web; it operates directly using a WebSocket.
It's a new-generation engine written in Golang, intended as a future replacement for the NOWEB engine.
You can test it by setting the WHATSAPP_DEFAULT_ENGINE=GOWS environment variable:
docker run -it -e "WHATSAPP_DEFAULT_ENGINE=GOWS" devlikeapro/waha
Read more about GOWS; it doesn't support all features yet, but we're working on it!
PostgreSQL support
Now you can use PostgreSQL as a Storage solution for your WAHA instance!
| Storage | WEBJS | NOWEB | GOWS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session - PostgreSQL | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Media - PostgreSQL | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ |
It works with both Session Storage and Media Storage, supports all engines, and is available in WAHA Plus.
How to connect to your PostgreSQL instance?
Connect Session Storage:
docker run -p 3000:3000/tcp -it -e WHATSAPP_SESSIONS_POSTGRESQL_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable devlikeapro/waha-plus
- Set
WHATSAPP_SESSIONS_POSTGRESQL_URLwith your credentials and database name.
Connect Media Storage:
docker run -p 3000:3000/tcp -it -e WAHA_MEDIA_STORAGE=POSTGRESQL -e WAHA_MEDIA_POSTGRESQL_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable devlikeapro/waha-plus
- Set
WAHA_MEDIA_POSTGRESQL_URLwith your credentials and database name. - Set
WAHA_MEDIA_STORAGE=POSTGRESQLto enable PostgreSQL as a media storage.
You can use the same connection URL for WAHA_MEDIA_POSTGRESQL_URL and WHATSAPP_SESSIONS_POSTGRESQL_URL if you want to use the same database for both storages.
