I've been considering keeping them indoors due to winter... Enough to turn out some castings for a small 30gal pot or two... Either that or go big, outside.Put a black landscape fabric ceiling over your bed. It helps keep the soil surface temp down from the sun. If you keep them fed, watered and shaded they’ll be fine. Worm composting can be pretty odorless if done right too. Don’t compost really stinky shit and cover food scraps with some soil or castings. Only add what the worms can process within a few days or a week. Worms are really easy to keep.
I’m in Florida so haven’t had to worry about winters, but I like the suggestion of burying the pot 75%
My problem is until I'm no longer renting, I can't go full bore on it as I'd like; I actually need a minimum of a cubic yard of castings just to do my personal garden "per the recipe" that some folks use... I've never actually used worm castings at all before this season. But if they work well, and should work better fresh, then I don't see why I shouldn't build myself a bed. If I have to move, I can always grab a handful of worms and restart the process...
