pixlet login via headless ssh

[johnpc]

I am attempting to push to my tidbyt from a script on my raspberry pi, which has no display/mouse/keyboard/etc.

I'd like to call

pixlet login

but when I do, I see the following error

We just opened your browser to visit:

https://login.tidbyt.com/oauth2/auth?client_id=d8ae7ea0-4a1a-46b0-b556-6d742687223a&code_challenge=92LhSS3jE2VU3VPmd_QiC18YZm3OlbDacmUz2kfLi9w&code_challenge_method=S256&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8085&response_type=code&scope=device+offline_access&state=T4odQg3eMLhAC9gPgZjrVMsk-v2tEHK1LY3_gvJ3CfY

Error: no DISPLAY environment variable specified

Furthermore, when I visit the sign in url, I cannot link it because it redirects to

http://localhost:8085/?code={code}&scope=device+offline_access&state=oGU7WJkq64EXEO5cRQ6gl2PfZMexcr96Eyet8Y5texg

When I click the link, this opens localhost:8085 in the browser on my host machine, not the raspberry pi. Therefore, the pixlet login server never receives the request.

I even attempted to curl that url from a different tab in the raspberry pi, but the pixlet login process then died with the following error:

getting auth token: state mismatch in 3-legged-OAuth flow

I am requesting that pixlet login be updated to work for headless computers.
