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 onlyImage & file backup for all PCs not on Proxmox. Backed up to QNAP NAS with a 2TB external drive offsite copy.
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 patch management across all lab machines. Keeping everything up-to-date automatically.
Internal onlyNetwork inventory and asset management. Full visibility into every device on the homelab network.
Internal onlyNetwork file shares and backup target. Houses the UrBackup store and a 6TB USB archive via TP-Link SMB share.
Internal onlySelf-hosted AI inference stack running Ollama and Open WebUI on an RTX 3080 Ti. Private, GPU-accelerated large language models with web search — no cloud, no data leaving the lab.
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 to a 2TB external drive. A separate 6TB USB HDD on the router serves as a long-term archive via SMB.
