400 and 500 errors with member subscribe form on local

I’m trying to get the member stuff working on my theme on my local machine. I’m using a theme from scratch vs. casper. I’ve set up mailgun, have entered by domain and API key, and have the following in my config.development.json file:

  "mail": {
    "transport": "SMTP",
    "options": {
      "service": "Mailgun",
      "host": "smtp.mailgun.org",
      "port": 587,
      "secureConnection": true,
      "auth": {
        "user": "MY USERNAME",
        "pass": "MY PASSWORD"
      }
    }
  },

(I read a different thread on here with an alternative port number, which I also tried).

Rather than using the portal button on the bottom, I’m trying to embed a form inline, with the following code:

<form data-members-form="subscribe">
  <input data-members-email type="email" required="true" placeholder="Your Email Address" />
  <button type="submit">Sign Me Up</button>
</form>

When the page currently loads, I’m getting the following error:

portal.min.js:3 GET http://localhost:2368/members/api/member/ 400 (Bad Request)

When I press submit on the form, I get the following error:

POST http://localhost:2368/members/api/send-magic-link/ 500 (Internal Server Error)

When I’ve tried re-enabling the portal button on the bottom, and then submitting the form from the modal, I get the same error above in the console, and the following error in the UI:

Failed to sign up, please try again

When I try to update the support and/or newsletter email addresses in the settings, I get a retry error.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong here?

I’m seeing this as well on my local. Have you had any luck resolving this? I’d love to be able to fully test Ghost locally before migrating to a Ghost(Pro) instance…
