You don't need a VM, it could run a server, you just need postgres on a network
that is accessible to everyone you want to use it.
Regardless, If this means the public internet I would highly recommend a
nonstandard port and would highly suggest client certificates based
authentication.
Also look into tools like fail2ban and how they can be configured to work for
failed postgres logins as well.
