Why not both? Big companies may prefer 1.0a for security and startups OAuth2.0 for flexibility about permissions and growth with easier integration by partners

I agree with this. For a Docker container to be valuable to companies (i.e. willing to pay money for it, I assume that's the goal), it should support both.

How are you planning to integrate the Docker container with the business authentication/authorization? LDAP?

OAuth1's /ridiculously/ complex.

OAuth2 fits in a tweet: get a login URL, user visits it, redirects back to you with an auth code, swap it for an access token.

Out of the major players:

- Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Instagram uses OAuth2.

- Only Twitter uses OAuth 1.

That's way a Docker container that does it for you would be so valuable.

That's true, but there's no need to make new oauth 1 servers: people hate writing clients for it.
