Originally created by @andrewrabert on GitHub (Dec 10, 2018).

Building packages often requires multiple steps and customized environments. Having a Dockerfile to build the Debian package:

Creates portable, reproducible build environments.
Allows one to build the Debian package on any system.
Documents how exactly to build the package. Our ancestor project was notoriously bad at this.

In other words - one should be able to build a Debian package doing nothing more than this. This example assumes https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/18 has been implemented.

$ git clone https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin
$ cd jellyfin/jellyfin
$ docker build -f Dockerfile.debian_package .

The current build procedure is just as simple and has no dependency on Docker, just on the dotnet-sdk-2.1 package and standard debuild framework - with Mono it was a nightmare, but luckily .NET Core made this a lot easier. However I don't see a reason we can't do both, as long as the Docker setup doesn't preclude doing it the old-fashioned non-Docker way.

@joshuaboniface One of the intentions of having this in addition to the Debian build files is that it will make CI/CD integration much nicer.

Yup agreed on the CI integration, just wanted to be sure!
