Deploying with docker will eliminate this kind of issue.

You have to deploy 3-4 services to run your own with Docker, right? Synapse, Riot, Jitsi, etc?

I just run a single Synapse server in docker.

Self hosted Riot is only relevant if you want to customize it, but I've found radical [1] to be a better alternative since I'm the only one using the server.

You can always fall back to using the Matrix-hosted Jitsi and TURN instances if you don't host your own (although I don't end up video calling with riot anyways).

Note that the matrix.org hosted turnserver only provides STUN if you use it as fallback, which means that if you need a relayto reliably connect it won't work.
