It sounds like you might be having issues with the SSL certificate process. Other people have had challenges when running Central on a local network.

Currently ODK Central does not provide a way to disable SSL completely. There a…re a number of common situations where this is needed: - SSL is managed through a CDN such as AWS CloudFront (providing faster access in distant countries) - hosting server already manages SSL certificates and uses port 80 / 443 - a developer has multiple web-based projects, using a top-level web server In all of these cases, SSL is handled at the top level, using a reverse proxy to communicate with ODK Central. SSL should not be used at the ODK level, because server-to-server communication (reverse proxy) is inside the private network. I added a "none" option for SSL_TYPE, environment variables for the open and SSL ports, and a modification to the nginx docker entry-point script which disables any SSL if needed. This has been tested on my Debian system.
