I have the same issue and get solved, you can see my thread [How to use rest api in docker](https://forum.flowable.org/t/how-to-use-rest-api-in-docker/2977/9)

To use rest api you have to either setup `flowable-rest` or `flowable-task`, to pass http basic authentication you can use something like

```auto
curl -i 'http://admin:test@localhost:8080/flowable-task/process-api/repository/deployments'

```

or

```auto
curl -i --user admin:test 'http://localhost:8080/flowable-task/process-api/repository/deployments'

```

You got redirected because you are using the application api which require cookie based authentication
