Update Checking
###############
PAPERLESS_ENABLE_UPDATE_CHECK=<bool>
Enable (or disable) the automatic check for available updates. This feature is disabled
by default but if it is not explicitly set Paperless-ngx will show a message about this.
If enabled, the feature works by pinging the the Github API for the latest release e.g.
https://api.github.com/repos/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/releases/latest
to determine whether a new version is available.
Actual updating of the app must still be performed manually.
Note that for users of thirdy-party containers e.g. linuxserver.io this notification
may be 'ahead' of a new release from the third-party maintainers.
In either case, no tracking data is collected by the app in any way.
Defaults to none, which disables the feature.
