I finally got around to #selfhosting NextCloud on nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll server. I'm able to sync from my desktop but having trouble from my #GOS Android device. It says cannot find local host when I try to enter the servers LAN address. Have you managed to get the mobile device connected to NextCloud?? nostr:npub1c9d95evcdeatgy6dacats5j5mfw96jcyu79579kg9qm3jtf42xzs07sqfm are you aware of any limitations due to security?

This definitely works, I'm personally doing it with GOS. Are you followour guide for this?

Feel free to jump in our TG chat for assistance.
Hey, I appreciate the reply. Yes, I followed the guide both for iOS and Android. iOS works fine, but I still have issues with .local on the Android with GOS installed. I can see the Root CA in the User’s Trusted credentials. I have tried Vanadium and Firefox beta with no success.
Jump into our Telegram support channel if you haven't already, somewhere there should be able to help you out.
Thank you. I'm up and running connected nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 wallet and donated to nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll via #lightening
onwards!
After you've added your CA certificate within android, if not using Tor and going local only you have to (in my experience anyway) use split tunneling on your VPN app and add Nextcloud and Firefox beta etc to not run through the VPN. Then disable block connection without VPN within the Android settings.
I also had to temporarily add Firefox beta as the default browser, and make sure you set the toggle to trust CA certificate in Firefox beta developer options.
Once that's a done revert back to using Vanadium as the default browser.
Set that up then you should be able to login to the nextcloud app via local HTTPS.
Nextclouds web based login needs Firefox, Vanadiums webview doesn't like it (I assume due not being able to trust the CA cert)
I've since: added CA certificate, added the nextcloud app to VPN split tunnelling and disabled block connections without VPN. Still not having any luck. How do you trust CA in Firefox beta dev option?
Tap Kebab Menu > Settings > About Firefox and tap the Firefox icon 5 times to enable “developer mode”
Go back to Kebab Menu > Settings > Secret Settings (at the bottom), and tap Use third party CA certificates
Yep, I tried that. The only way around this was to disable nostr:npub1mea2vwcu06qf7e4x00wd902vj54qnn2jacq76ldntrgfhtvhlpqqrvqane VPN and turn off the kill switch, a suboptimal workaround... Help
If split tunneling is enabled and block connections without VPN is disabled you shouldn't need disable the whole VPN.
Make sure in Proton the split tunneling mode is set to standard and nextcloud and Firefox beta are added to the excluded apps.
