self-hosted KeePass database in the cloud, what are some good options? (lemmy.today)

I'm now finally switching away from Windows, bought a new SSD and just set it up, and now I've hit a bit of a snag.
I'm using KeePass for password management, but I have my database up on iCloud. The reason for this is because I also have a iPhone and MacBook from which I need to access my passwords and this has been weirdly the most trouble-free and convenient option thus far.

But in the spirit of liberation (and because I don't want to have to deal with web-based file management) I thought I'd ask around what some good options are. I am renting a VPS so that could be one option, but there I'm also a bit worried about data loss (for example if I stop paying, which is less of an issue since iCloud is free, or they go out of business. yeah I get that Apple bad but they're a lot less likely to go out of business soon (not that Hetzner is on the verge of bankruptcy but thats my thinking)).

The easiest option would be to just keep it all on my main PC and periodically sync from the other clients, the only issue here is that if my PC is shutdown and I'm not home (which rarely happens luckily) and I haven't synced recently, I'm fucked.

Option 3 would be to get the stanky raspi I have laying around running, but omg I think it would be more reliably if I just memorized all passwords myself.

Option 4 would be the same as 3 but with the Steam Machine. Which would mean deferring this issue until (or if) they release.

And I'm open to hearing more options that you would recommend.

Syncthing. If you run it on your phone you can keep it always running :)

If you have an old phone or a tablet at home, you can even skip the server step since you already have an always online, low energy consumption device running anyway.

Second this. In the spirit of a 3-2-1 backup scenario, I also like to keep a copy on SpiderOak or Proton Drive and that works well for me. Encrypted cloud storage is my recommendation. And store your key file someplace apart from the database.

This is my setup, though my phone is set to only run syncthing while plugged in and on wifi. My server is always online and taking backups, but if it's down all of my devices still have their own copy.
