Deploy WAHA in one click installation.
Self-hosted WhatsApp HTTP API that lets you send and receive messages through a simple REST interface.
What you can build with WAHA
WAHA (WhatsApp HTTP API) is an open-source REST API server that wraps WhatsApp Web into a clean HTTP interface, so any application or service can send messages, receive events, and manage sessions without browser dependencies or third-party cloud costs. It supports multiple engine backends — this template uses the NOWEB engine, which communicates directly over WebSocket without launching a browser, making it lightweight and efficient on VPS resources.
Self-hosting WAHA keeps your WhatsApp session data, message content, and webhook integrations under your full control. Connect your CRM, chatbot, helpdesk, or internal tool to WhatsApp in minutes using standard HTTP calls, with a built-in web dashboard and interactive Swagger UI included out of the box.
Key features of WAHA
REST API for WhatsApp
Send and receive WhatsApp messages, media, and events through a documented REST API accessible from any language or framework.
Built-in web dashboard
Manage sessions, scan QR codes, and monitor activity through a web UI without writing any code.
Webhook event streaming
Push incoming messages and status updates to your own endpoints with configurable event filters and custom headers.
Session persistence
Sessions survive container restarts automatically — no QR re-scan required after a reboot or update.
Media file handling
Send and receive images, documents, voice notes, and video files with built-in local storage for received media.

Docker VPS hosting you can rely on
I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
