How can I run a Google API inside a Docker Container?

I'm making a worker service that interacts with the Gmail API. Currently, I use OAuth 2.0 Client for the credentials: 

public static class GmailApiHelper
{
    public static GmailService GetGmailService(string credentialsPath, string accessTokenPath)
    {
        using var stream = new FileStream(credentialsPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
        
        var credential = GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker.AuthorizeAsync(
            GoogleClientSecrets.FromStream(stream).Secrets,
            new[] { GmailService.Scope.GmailReadonly, GmailService.Scope.GmailModify },
            "user",
            CancellationToken.None,
            new FileDataStore(accessTokenPath, true)).Result;
        
        return new GmailService(new BaseClientService.Initializer
        {
            HttpClientInitializer = credential,
            ApplicationName = "Gmail API Sample",
        });
    } 
}


It works fine until I run it on a Docker Container:

2024-02-16 19:08:21 [11:08:21 ERR] [Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Internal.Host] - BackgroundService failed
2024-02-16 19:08:21 System.InvalidOperationException: At least one client secrets (Installed or Web) should be set
2024-02-16 19:08:21    at Google.Apis.Auth.OAuth2.GoogleClientSecrets.get_Secrets()


I've search through this on the internet and it wants me to use a Service Account. But I couldn't get it to work. I also tried using a normal API key but it says that it has limited access. I hope someone can help me with this. 😇
