selfhosted notes with android app but with mtls suoport

Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 17 points – 4 months ago

Looking for a notes app. Must have an android client,support mtls,support attachments and card layout.

Only ones that can do that but with limitation are JTX board and nextcloud notes.

NC notes does not support attachments. JTX board is a journal,task first app and counts on icx protocol which have size limitations

Anyways anyone aware of any app that can do that?

ps: pls don't suggest to save to local storage and sync that.

pls don't suggest this app that cant do that but its great.

Mtls requires that the android client device has a certificate installed that matches the one installed on the server in order to access it.

If you are dead set on a specifically certificate-backed access control scheme, a VPN with the ability to use the hardware-backed certificate store (such as OpenVPN) is likely easier to set up as it is better supported on mobile devices and doesn't require application-level support (i.e. everything is protected, not just the apps w/ mTLS support)

Thanks for the info. Will look in to that approach too.
