For some time now I've been struggling with an OAuth authorisation. Every time I wanted to build console app that uses service secured be OAuth I had the same problem - how to provide user name and password without a browser. After some research I came up with an idea - I can use headless browser and Selenium to interact with it.

When I started to learn Docker I made a mistake and instead of learning basic commands, I jumped into Docker Compose. I was so eager to use it that I missed all what's important. So I took a step back and forced myself into command line interface. After many images I created and lot of container I was experimenting with I finally got it.
