I run it in an LXC container which is hosted on a proxmox server, which is an Intel i7 NUC. Running 24x7. The container contains all the tools it needs.
No need to worry about security, unless you consider container breakout a concern.
I wouldn't run it in my personal laptop.
Did you follow a specific guide to setup the LXC by chance? I was hoping for a community script, but did not see one.
