@matttutt @amirbkhan It's possible, and I've done it a few years ago.
Setting up the bridge is pretty easy, your Matrix admin should be able to fix that by following the documentation.
The documentation you mention works with Docker, you can also follow the Mautrix docs:
https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/whatsapp/index.html
It's all you need, I'm not sure if it can be documented much shorter or easier than this.
The big thing is, of course, that in this setup you'll still need Suckerberg's spyware running on your phone. The only way around that, is to install an Android virtual machine somewhere, and run WhatsApp there.
I've never put much effort into that, because I left WhatsApp when Suckerberg bought it, and without an account it's pretty much impossible to test anything 😉
