You need:
- Working LineageOS built from source
- File hosting with direct links, for example sourceforge
- GitHub account

1. create public GitHub repository and create in it JSON file with following text:

{
  "response": [
    {
      "datetime": 1234567890,
      "filename": "ota-package.zip",
      "id": "5eb63bbbe01eeed093cb22bb8f5acdc3",
      "romtype": "unofficial",
      "size": 314572800,
      "url": "https://example.com/ota-package.zip",
      "version": "18.1"
    }
