Support for headless mode in docker containers or other limited input devices

[thucke]

Hi @simonrob ,

I'm trying to get your proxy running in a docker container to support OAuth2 with Gmail. Obviously there seem to be a blocker because of this restriction: "Please note that on its own this mode is only of use if you have already authorised your accounts through the proxy in GUI mode".

In a docker container there is no GUI and trying to launch your script without --no-gui option results in Xlib.error.DisplayNameError: Bad display name "".

Would it be possible to

• either log the URL that has to be opend for authentication in debug mode so that one can put it in the hosts browser
• or implement support for headless devices as described here

Please read the rest of that readme section you quoted from – either the --external-auth or the --local-server-auth option will enable you to achieve what you want.

Thanks @simonrob and please apologize the inconvenience. I've read the section but by any case I did not recognize the inmportant information.
