Packaging/build from source guide.

Describe the error
There is no clear way how to package Ombi in repositories/build it from source, making it difficult for package maintainers to ship Ombi in distro's repos.

[Berserkir-Wolf]

So you'd like a way to build from source yourself?
Any particular distro you're involved with that you'd like Ombi included in?

Yes as that gives the basis on how to package Ombi.

Any particular distro you're involved with that you'd like Ombi included in?

Alpine Linux.

@tidusjar care to weigh in on this one?

Sure, it's all here:

It defintely is helpful when it comes to finding directories to run the build commands. However, when it comes to actually running the correct build commands/moving binaries into directories to be run, some extra instructions would be helpful.

It would also be helpful to know if Ombi attempting to update itself can be disabled through a config file or if it would need a patch of some sort.

I have more or less managed to package Ombi for Alpine Linux, but I am unable to test it due to Ombi-app/Ombi#4897. Besides that, the only other blocker is the above comment.

I have solved the building issue, now the only things in the way are:

• Disabling Ombi self-updating
• Building with version information in cli/web ui

Both of which would be helpful to add to the docs.
