[Feature Request] Support mTLS certificates in mobile apps

[peanut250]

Requesting support for mTLS, useful as a way to securely access the server remotely (as an alternative to e.g. wireguard). The client apps will need to support providing the certificates.

Thanks for the feature request! I've looked into what this would take. Yes, this is technically possible. The mobile app uses the standard Dart http package which doesn't support client certificates out of the box easily.
What we probably need to do:

• Switch to a custom HTTP client using dart:io SecurityContext or a package like dio
• Add a way to store client certificates (.p12/.pfx files)
• Add certificate password handling
• UI for importing/managing certificates in server settings or on login page
• Update all API calls in PinepodsService to use the new client

So possible? Yeah, but not something that happens overnight.
