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.

While it doesn't quite answer the question, I ended up switching from Keepass to Vaultwarden, with the Bitwarden client on all devices. It only syncs at home or while on my VPN, sure, but Bitwarden stores its data locally so even if I can't connect to Vaultwarden, I can still grab credentials from the local copy.

ditto, switched from keepassxc to vault/bitwarden. Couldn't be happier. I have it accessible via cloudflare tunnels, so I always can sync so long as I have internet.

Once I set up S3 cloud storage, I'll have offsite backups as well.

Yeah realistically I could set mine up to be accessible behind Pangolin, but it's the kind of thing I feel more comfortable leaving purely on the LAN. Mostly paranoia.
