How hard is it to manage self hosted Postgres?

Question

I want PG for hobby side projects with a user base.I was looking at fly.io which has a nice free tier and Im aware of the digital ocean offering.I&rsquo;ve been self hosting some infra on Hetzner and was wondering how much of a pain it would be to just self host? It seems much cheaper, but don&rsquo;t want to shoot myself in the foot

Self host in the cloud or self host locally? I run a bitnami vm locally accessable by token based ssh or key based openvpn. So in essence its in the cloud
