AFAIK Itunes Match is still around if you do not want a regular streaming service. But Apple Music also includes the same functionality.

You can upload your own stuff but it is subscription based, of course. Playing should work through the Apple Music app for Android.

I use iTunes match with a circa 200GB collection (and then Apple music stuff on top). Can't remember the details of the extra subscription for match, but after the first upload pass it works really well.

Everything is automatically synced between all devices. Also helps algo find additional recommendations in regular Apple music.

I also use Apple Music on Android. Caching is woeful sometimes, but it does the job for now.

For Linux, can use https://music.apple.com

Seems to be getting better (has been quite buggy up to now).

I've been umm-ing and ahh-ing about going self hosted for a while, but I can't find anything that gives me control over my library and a massive repertoire of good tunes.

The latter is probably the biggest selling point for me sticking with apple for now.
