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, with UrBackup handling image backups. Email is fully self-hosted using Stalwart, with outbound delivery via SMTP2Go.
