How to access wacore container using WhatsApp Business API

Question

I recently started using WhatsAppBusiness API, i am able to install the docker containers for whatsappbusiness and i am able to access whatsapp web using the port 9090. Ex: https://172.29.208.1:9090

But I don't know how to access MySQL and WhatsAppCore app.

I tried http://172.29.208.1:33060 but nothing is happened. Please let me know how to access MySQL and wacore.

Here is my docker-compose.yml file

docker-compose.yml

version: '3'

volumes:
  whatsappData:
    driver: local
  whatsappMedia:
    driver: local

services:
  db:
    image: mysql:5.7.22
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: testpass
      MYSQL_USER: testuser
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: testpass
    expose:
        - "33060"
    ports:
        - "33060:3306"
    network_mode: bridge
  wacore:
    image: docker.whatsapp.biz/coreapp:v2.19.4
    command: ["/opt/whatsapp/bin/wait_on_mysql.sh", "/opt/whatsapp/bin/launch_within_docker.sh"]
    volumes:
     - whatsappData:/usr/local/waent/data
     - whatsappMedia:/usr/local/wamedia
    env_file:
      - db.env
    depends_on:
      - "db"
    network_mode: bridge
    links:
      - db
  waweb:
    image: docker.whatsapp.biz/web:v2.19.4
    command: ["/opt/whatsapp/bin/wait_on_mysql.sh", "/opt/whatsapp/bin/launch_within_docker.sh"]
    ports:
     - "9090:443"
    volumes:
     - whatsappData:/usr/local/waent/data
     - whatsappMedia:/usr/local/wamedia
    env_file:
      - db.env
    environment:
      WACORE_HOSTNAME: wacore
    depends_on:
      - "db"
      - "wacore"
    links:
      - db
      - wacore
    network_mode: bridge

Mysql is not a HTTP server, it doesn't understand http://172.29.208.1:33060

you could run 'docker ps | grep mysql' to get mysql container id

8dfa30ab0200 mysql:5.7.22 "docker-entrypoint.s…" 6 minutes ago Up 6 minutes 33060/tcp, 0.0.0.0:33060->3306/tcp xxxx_db_1

then run 'docker exec -it 8dfa30ab0200 mysql -h localhost -P 3306 -u testuser --password=testpass' to access mysql

But because you haven't registered, you won't see much stuffs in mysql. Please follow steps in https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/api/account to perform registration.

You don't need to access coreapp directly, you perform all API requests through webapp (https://172.29.208.1:9090).
