Self-Hosted Services
All services hosted on bare metal, VMs, and containers within the home network — no third-party clouds.
This public website is served directly from the homelab on a self-hosted web server and published securely to the internet through a Cloudflare Tunnel.
You're here PublicSelf-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 onlyCentralized logs from Linux, Proxmox, Raspberry Pi, and Windows systems. Alloy forwards logs to Loki, while Grafana provides searchable dashboards for troubleshooting and reviewing events across hosts.
Internal onlyAvailability monitoring for network devices, DNS, servers, and web services. Tracks uptime and response times, with outage alerts and a history of service interruptions.
Internal onlyA single Proxmox host powers the homelab, running VMs and containers with a dedicated datacenter manager.
Internal onlyThe homelab's internet gateway and central router. OPNsense handles inter-VLAN routing, firewall rules, and OpenVPN, separating infrastructure, trusted clients, IoT, and printers.
Internal onlyWi-Fi 7 connectivity with separate trusted and IoT SSIDs mapped to VLANs. A managed switch trunk carries each wireless network back to OPNsense for routing and firewall control.
Internal onlySecure remote access hosted directly on OPNsense. VPN clients can reach permitted homelab services across VLANs through centrally managed firewall rules.
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.
Internal onlyNetwork-based PC imaging with centralized image capture and deployment. DRBL provides the PXE boot environment, while Clonezilla SE handles system imaging and Windows 11 gold image deployment across lab PCs.
Internal onlyDedicated GPU server for private local AI. Runs Ollama and Open-WebUI for large language models, plus ComfyUI and Stable Diffusion Forge for image and video generation on an RTX 4080 Super.
Internal onlyAbout the Lab
AvenidaHomeLab is a personal infrastructure project run like a small enterprise network. A single Proxmox host runs VMs and containers, alongside dedicated storage, networking, and local AI hardware. Storage, identity, backups, DNS, and remote access are self-hosted.
The homelab brings together macOS desktops and laptops, Windows clients and servers, Linux systems, and a Raspberry Pi. These systems share NAS storage, printers, Nextcloud, and local web applications. The Raspberry Pi hosts many of the supporting services, including Pi-hole DNS, Uptime Kuma monitoring, and Grafana and Loki for centralized logging.
OPNsense handles the internet gateway, inter-VLAN routing, firewall rules, and OpenVPN remote access. Four VLANs separate servers and infrastructure (VLAN 1), trusted clients (VLAN 20), IoT devices (VLAN 30), and printers on their own dedicated segment (VLAN 40). A TP-Link Omada EAP770 Wi-Fi 7 access point maps trusted and IoT wireless networks to their respective VLANs.
AD authentication and DNS are handled by a pair of Windows domain controllers. Windows DHCP centrally manages address assignments, with OPNsense DHCP relays forwarding requests from the client and IoT VLANs to the DHCP servers. File shares live on a QNAP NAS. Email is fully self-hosted using Stalwart, with outbound delivery via SMTP2Go.
Uptime Kuma monitors availability and response times across network devices and self-hosted services, with alerts when something goes offline. Grafana, Loki, and Alloy centralize system logs for troubleshooting across Linux, Proxmox, Raspberry Pi, and Windows hosts.
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.
A dedicated local AI server provides private LLM inference and generative AI workloads. Ollama and Open-WebUI host local language models, while ComfyUI and Stable Diffusion Forge handle image and video generation using an NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super GPU.
