I've used Python's "pyotp" to generate TOTP codes
Just copy the secret into a file (say 'redmine.secret')
and then simply do
$ ./totp redmine.secret
506771
$
-- code (file totp, chmod u+x) -----------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python3
import base64
import pyotp
import sys
with open(sys.argv[1]) as f:
base32encodedsecret = f.readline().strip()
print(pyotp.TOTP(base32encodedsecret).now())
-- end code -------------------------------
