For the client I'm looking at symfonium as it looks like it has android auto support going off of this github list.

Here's a good overview of the feature sets of most of the popular ones: https://github.com/basings/selfhosted-music-overview

The most liked client is symfonium which works with several different server implementations. It appears that its dev also tries to bundle the subsonic power to improve the subsonic implementation and tries to prevent a sea of subsonic forks. I did not research about music servers in a while but I'll check it out and add it to https://github.com/basings/selfhosted-music-overview . Thank you guys for your experience and insights! It's really helpful to see what the people love and hate about their setups.

You can check https://github.com/basings/selfhosted-music-overview to have an idea of the features you can implement. There is also a lot to be done to properly handle multi value tags, artist relationships, etc. Good luck!

I use apprise with Gotify

You can self-host a notification service using https://gotify.net/ for example, but you may need to ask the user to disable battery usage restrictions if you don't want the OS to kill the background process.

If you do not need the state tracking, but instead need something that can deliver push notifications to you, check out ntfy and gotify

Gotify (version 2.5.1): A client for receiving push notifications

I've found Gotify to work well for that

Just FYI - there's also shoutrrr and gotify with similar functionality. I've tried them, they're very good, but not fitting my (very humble) needs.
