Hi,
Yes - it is a perfect case for PostgreSQL service definitions.
See
https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/managing_data_source/opening_data.html#postgresql-service-connection-file
This way you are flexible: you don't connect to a
hostname/ip/port/database connection but to a service definition - which
can be managed centrally without having to change the data sources in QGIS.
On different computers and users you can have different service
defitions (pg_service.conf files) - on one machine pointing to
"localhost", on another to a "remote host".
That way you can also easily migrate your PostgreSQL server to a
different hostname or IP without having to change hundreds of QGIS
projects that point to a fixed hostname.
It is good practice to use PostgreSQL service definitions anyway.
On windows, make sure you use Unix line ending in your service defintion
file, or you may get troubles using it.
Greetings,
Andreas

This is not tested, but I think it should work
Enable host based access for local connections via the server IP
address in your pg_hba file and use this for all QGIS access, so
you apply the same access approach for both local & remote
connections.

Subject: [Qgis-user] Project files with local and remote
connections to postgreSQL databases
Hi,
I am having a basic problem with my project files. I usually run qgis
locally, where the PostgreSQL database is. However, sometimes I
need to
have these same projects run on a remote computer (where a version a
qGIS is locally installed, but the connection to the database is
remote). And then the project file 'doesn't work' because the expected
connection to the database is locally not remotely, and I have not
figured out how to modify this parameter when the project is loaded in
qGIS. My current work around is to create a specific project for the
remote computer.
However this solution is annoying when you have plenty of
composers that
you lose in the process ... and playing directly in the xml
project file
is a bit scary ...
Anybody would have an idea how to fix the problem?
Kind regards
