I can access my website on the Mac mini (using https), but I can’t access calibre (when I append the 8080 port number to the URL).

I suspect that I need to fill in two fields in the “Sharing over the net” Preferences panel: (1) Path to the SSL certificate file and (2) Path to the SSL private key file.

Can anyone confirm that I am on the right path? (No pun intended)

And if so, where can I find these two files on a Mac system?
You will have to generate your own certificate. Then enter the path into calibre.

See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...enssl#10176685

this is the command I used on my lunix system.
Code:
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout calibre_key.pem -out calibre_cert.pem -days 730 -nodes
