If using an air-tight vessel I would think you would need to release pressure occasionally, no?
I do both dill pickles and sauerkraut on my kitchen window sill (eastern sun exposure) and it comes out great. I use a wide-mouth mason jar with pickle pebbles to weigh it down along with a loosely fitted plastic lid, and from what I understand kimchi doesn't even take as long as sauerkraut, so evaporation shouldn't be too bad.
Pickle pebbles are the expensive option, Glass marbles in a bag work great and you don't have to worry about fluid leaking out into your ferment like you do with baggies filled with water.
Honestly setting and forgetting is what you want for a good ferment. Once you have everything set up and ready to ferment, leaving the container closed and undisturbed is best until it is ready to eat and then you can transfer it to the fridge. Less messing with it means less chances for contamination. You should look into getting a proper set up for small batch ferments.
Here are a few items you might want to consider that are easy to use.
These will fit any wide mouth mason jar.

If you want to do it on the cheap, a clean rock works fine. There are also plenty of commercial products available;

I normally scrape off the surface stuff and give the food a taste. I bought some pickling stones from Amazon and they work very well holding everything under the brine (if using Mason jars) mine are for wide mouth.
