Just to make sure, your issue is :
But I cannot access https://audiobookshelf.local.com/ or http://audiobookshelf.local.com/ (it automatically forwards to HTTPS).
If so, well, you’re forcing SSL, which means it’ll automatically transmit http request to https. If you don’t want that, turn it off. Anyway, it’s going to be used only locally, correct?
Let’s hope you’re ready to handle this package. Try your best!
