Implement a Down for Maintenance screen

[robi]

Is this more of a default setting for every cloudron, or a feature checkbox with a url box you fill in with the site/page to redirect to when things are down?

[marcusquinn]

@robi I think common platform settings and per-app boolean.

[robi]

@marcusquinn For Cloudrons that host multiple domains and companies, those would be better differentiated per App/group.

[marcusquinn]

@robi If you wish, I was thinking contact details of the maintainer, not the brand themselves.

What about a "Turn on maitenance mode" like @girish suggested, but you'd be able to specify which page from the /home/yellowtent/boxdata/custom_pages you want displayed. This would allow a lot more flexibility and even let you have app-specific maintenance pages that you made beforehand.

[Lanhild]

@girish Any thoughts about this?

It's especially useful when you'd like to point users to a status page for which the URL differs with the app.

@lanhild
A question back.
Should this maintenance mode only be the dashboard or dashboard and all apps?

[Lanhild]

@james I'd say both. Either way, the best way to explain this need's the following:

Having the ability to set, from a list, which page to display when an app is down/off/in maintenance.

[jdaviescoates]

@Lanhild yeah, or just the ability to set it app by app, I guess.

This can be used to redirect traffic from a downed app to a cloned/synced app acting like a high availability feature.

[Lanhild]

@jdaviescoates yes, exactly what I meant
