I was wondering about something similar, like setting up a VM for it. Doesn't really fulfill the "always on" thingy, but regarding malware etc. this should be safe, no?
Yeah. As long as you don't make any alterations to the VM like sharing drives for example. If you had enough storage you could also make snapshots on occasion so you have a back up in the event of malware but you wouldn't likely get malware unless you are opening the files on that VM
