Self-Hosted Services
All services hosted on bare metal and VMs within the home network — no third-party clouds.
Self-hosted cloud office suite. Files, calendars, contacts, and collaboration — fully under my control.
OpenLive TV streaming and media server. Open-source, no subscriptions.
Internal onlyNetwork-wide ad blocking with redundant instances. DNS-level filtering for the entire LAN.
Internal onlySelf-hosted remote desktop server. Secure remote access to LAN machines without relying on third-party relays.
Internal onlyFully functional self-hosted email server. Handles IMAP, SMTP, and more — with outbound delivery via SMTP2Go relay.
Internal onlyBare-metal hypervisor cluster powering the homelab. VMs and containers spread across multiple nodes with a dedicated datacenter manager.
Internal onlyInternal router and VPN server on Ubuntu. Handles internal routing between subnets and provides secure remote access.
Internal onlyEndpoint Central for automated patch management and software deployment across lab machines, including packaged applications offered through the self-service portal.
Internal onlyNetwork inventory and asset management. Full visibility into every device on the homelab network.
Internal onlyNetwork file shares and backup target. Includes a 6TB USB archive via TP-Link SMB share.

Internal onlyAbout the Lab
AvenidaHomeLab is a personal infrastructure project built on Proxmox, running a cluster of VMs and containers across multiple physical hosts. Everything is self-hosted — storage, identity, backups, DNS, and remote access.
The network is segmented with a TP-Link router as the internet gateway and an Ubuntu Server acting as internal router between subnets, also running OpenVPN for secure remote access.
AD authentication and DNS are handled by a pair of Windows domain controllers, with DHCP also on the domain. File shares live on a QNAP NAS. Email is fully self-hosted using Stalwart, with outbound delivery via SMTP2Go.
PC imaging is delivered over the network through DRBL and Clonezilla SE. Systems can PXE boot into the imaging environment for centralized backup, recovery, and deployment of a generalized Windows 11 gold image to compatible lab hardware.
