This project uses the whatsapp/chat-api in order to connect a daemon with your mobile phone. All received and sent messages are stored in a mysql database and can be used for further work easily. The daemon and a simple user interface is provided.

• https://github.com/WHAnonymous/Chat-API is used to connect to your whatsapp account
• https://github.com/bcosca/fatfree provides a simple framework and user interface
• https://github.com/PhiloNL/Laravel-Blade provides the Laravel templating system
• https://github.com/shaneharter/PHP-Daemon is used to send and receive all whatsapp messages
• https://github.com/robmorgan/phinx migrates the database

Caution: You can not use nor verify your whatsapp account on your mobile phone and in the daemon at the same time!

You need these packages on your host system in order to start this project in a virtual environment. If you do not want to run a virtual environment, you need to install all dependencies that can be found in the ansible folder.

• virtualbox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
• vagrant: https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

Download this project and initialize the virtual environment using vagrant

$ vagrant up

create a new basic configuration and connect your mobile phone

$ vagrant ssh
$ cd /vagrant
