I have a Raspberry Pi myself, and after the initial setup there's not much maintenance needed. it just works as expected. the services hosted on it have their own respective Web Pages or APIs or mobile apps, depending on the service.
note that installing additional software to access your Pi will take up system resources like memory, storage, and bandwidth. So take that into consideration, and how much the other services consume.
What OS is it running?
And what about when a service stops or crashes and you can't access through the app or front end? Or updates, either for the OS itself and for all of the services it's running? Do you SSH in every time you need to do any of that?
I think it's running Raspberrian. I wanted something Debian based, and thought the official image will do (it does).
Specifically on my Pi, I've set it up in such a way that even if it loses power or internet, I won't need to do anything for it to be back up.
But I did have lottts of problems on my VPS. programs crashed, Out Of Memory crashed the OS... really, no shortage of errors. And I had service there I used all the time like music.
So what I did is use Termux on my phone. this way I could SSH to it from anywhere. Just click the button, run a few commands and be back on with my day. It's the most convenient way I've found. being able to do it from my phone on the go. And since it's CLI it was much easier to do. Just run the command needed and leave.
If you want I can elaborate on what Termux is and how I used it here.
