This is going to be SO COOL for self-hosted users. No more Docker setup since Postgres install may not be an issue. Good find! 🎉
I'm trying to set it up locally but it seems to be hanging. Leaving code-only review until I can get it working locally.
EDIT: got it working. Sweet!

Use pgserver python package as an embedded postgres db, installed directly as a khoj python package dependency. This significantly simplifies self-hosting with just a `pip install khoj'. No need to also install postgres separately. Still use standard postgres server for multi-user, production use-cases.
