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.

The main value proposition of these full-access agents is that they have access to your files, emails, calendar etc. in order to manage your life like a personal assistant. No amount of containerization is going to prevent emails being siphoned off from prompt injection.

You probably haven't given it access to any of your files or emails (others definitely have), but then I wonder where the value actually is.

But then what's the purpose of the bot? I already found limited use for it, but for what it could be useful would need access to emails, calendar. It says it right on the landing page: schedule meetings, check-in for your flight etc..

I've got a similar setup (VM on unraid). For me it's only doing a few light tasks, but I have only had it running for ~48hrs. I dont do any of the calendar/inbox stuff and wouldnt trust it to have access to my personal inbox or my own files.

- Sends me a morning email containing the headlines of the news sources I tend to check

- Has access to a shared dir on my nas where it can read/write files to give to me. I'm using this to get it to do markdown based writing plans (not full articles, just planning structures of documents and providing notes on things to cover)

- Has a cron that runs overnight to log into a free ahrefs account in a browser and check for changes to keywords and my competitor monitoring (so if a competitor publishes a new article, it lets me know about it)

- Finds posts I should probably respond to on Twitter and Bluesky when people mention a my brand, or a topic relating to it that would be potentially relevant to be to jump into (I do not get it to post for me).

That's it so far and to be honest is probably all I'll use it for. Like I say, wouldn't trust it with access to my own accounts.

People are also ignoring the running costs. It's not cheap. You can very quickly eat through $200+ of credits with it in a couple of hours if you get something wrong.

Did you follow a specific guide to setup the LXC by chance? I was hoping for a community script, but did not see one.
