Redirect to localhost:8080 after OAuth Consent Screen

[remklov]

When i access the URL generated by get_credentials.py and check all permissions and click Continue i get redirected to a URL like http://localhost:8080/?state=rYmM5PTvl7MbN... and the script will not generate a .google_fit.token. When i check the generated URL, there is a "redirect_uri" parameter which specifies the localhost:8080.

Did i miss something in the configuration?

// Edit:
I found, that in the credentials.json the "redirect_url" to localhost is specified. I changed it to my external HA domain, but then Google gives the error "Redirect URI mismatch".

if you're doing this over SSH then you can forward the 8080 port from the remote machine to the local one, this will allow the redirect URL to pass back through to the remote system.

something like this:

ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 <my remote host>:<my remote port>
