You can basically build a p2 update site with PDE Build, Buckminster or
Tycho - which one to pick depends on what suits you / your organization.
Do you need headless builds and are not already using PDE Build, then I
suggest you use one of the other two which both can build a p2 update
site using Eclipse IDE, or in headless fashion.
Once you produced a p2 update site, simply publish it on a web server.
If you are uncertain about how all the parts fit together (features,
plugins, fragments, products, p2 update sites, update managers, etc.
etc.) then I recommend the Introductory chapters of the "Bucky Book"
available from the Buckminster update site.
How to actually use PDE, Buckminster or Tycho are topics for their
respective forums.
Hope that helps.
