I am an on-prem Windows/SQL Server guy so troubleshooting Cloud, Ubuntu, Docker, PostgreSQL, etc. was a learning experience. I prefer to avoid local hosting as to not increase the surface area of my network accessible to the internet. If I was a security guru and knew what I was doing, I am sure I could do it confidently, but I am not...

I don't expose anything to the web, just use Tailscale to connect to it, E2 micro, 2 core 1gb ram, 30gb hdd. follow the first link for the setup including swap, 2nd link for the current free tiers
