A home server setup built around fast fiber and 10G networking
Home internet in Singapore has moved away from older GPON service, and the lowest home fiber plan is now 3Gbps. This setup uses a 6Gbps XGS-PON plan and a 10G home network. There are no wired devices with 10G ports yet, so the network is more than the home currently needs, but the 10G base is seen as useful for the future.
The 10G switch and XGS-PON ONT run very hot, so they sit in a cabinet with a vent shaft and stay stable with air cooling. Jellyfin is working well, and mobile devices can stream from outside the home through WireGuard. Intel CPU keeps video light, so streams can stay under 5Mbps to save 5G mobile data with almost no CPU load.
Sunshine, Immich, and NextCloud are still being tuned. is being used as a third backup location because there is no remote physical storage, and Pi-hole is being considered as another service to run at home.
Key points
- The home uses a 6Gbps XGS-PON fiber plan with 10G .
- The 10G switch and XGS-PON ONT produce enough heat that airflow matters.
- Jellyfin works for outside the home through WireGuard.
- keeps video under 5Mbps with very low CPU use.
- is used as the third backup location to follow the rule.
