Google oAuth2 for a device with rich UI capabilities
I am creating a device that needs access to a user's google drive to write data. The device, a photogrammetry rig, will only write data it sources to a specific folder.
The device runs on a Rasberry Pi and uses a mobile device's browser connected to the pi's WiFi to provide UI. The pi implements a "captive portal" and is connected to the internet via the ethernet jack. So the UI capabilities are "rich" (mobile browser). This also means that the standard redirect to localhost/127.0.0.1 will not work as the mobile device is rendering the page not the Raspberry Pi.
I'd rather not implement Google's oAuth2 device flow, I want to keep the sign in process as simple as possible for the user. The pi cannot provide a "verifiable domain" as it will be on a private network (with connectivity to the internet of course).
I've looked at the Javascript client option but from what I can tell there is a redirect URI back to localhost, it's just buried in the Google client code. I am running stretch-lite on the pi (no UI) and running a pretty standard Linux stack (Nginx/Python3/Gunicorn).

does the mobile browser have access to the Internet (ie. the RPi is acting as a bridge or a router)? If yes, then standard OAuth will work just fine.
