Getting the Google auth token

1. You need to create an app in https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent
2. Give the token the Calendar scopes you need
3. Ignore the "authorized domains"
4. Set yourself as a test user
5. finish and create
6. Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials
7. Create oauth creds to the consent screen
8. Add http://localhost:8080/ to the authorised redirect URIs. note the forward slash at the end! (this little shit cost me a day of anger)
9. download the credentials.json file
10. From outside docker install gcsa (pip install gcsa) and create a client by pointing it to the credentials.json. There is a chicken-egg with Localhost that won't work via docker.
11. Grab the url from the terminal, open that in a browser with your user in context.
12. The library will fire up a webserver at localhost:8080/ and create a pickled token in the same location as the credentials.json. save that token not in git
13. Use that token from now on for auth!
