## Easily toggle on or off maintenance mode with nginx
### Screenshots

### Installation
#### Download and execute the script:
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/tmiland/Nginx-Maintenance-Mode.git
$ cd Nginx-Maintenance-Mode
$ cp -rp ./maintenance-page.conf /etc/nginx/snippets/
$ git clone https://github.com/tmiland/server-error-pages.git /etc/nginx/html/server-error-pages
$ cp -rp /etc/nginx/html/server-error-pages/_site/maintenance-page.html /etc/nginx/html/server-error-pages/_site/maintenance-page_off.html
$ chmod +x maintenance.sh
```
#### Add to server directive
```
server {
## Nginx Maintenance Mode
include snippets/maintenance-page.conf;
}
```
#### Optionally
```bash
$ ln -s /path/to/Nginx-Maintenance-Mode/maintenance.sh /usr/bin/maintenance
```
#### Check for errors
```bash
$ nginx -t
```
- Add to each virtual server in /etc/nginx/sites-available you want to enable maintenance mode on.
- Else, add to nginx.conf.
#### Usage
```bash
$ ./maintenance.sh [hostname] [on/off]
```
#### Optionally
```bash
$ maintenance [hostname] [on/off]
```
*** Note: [hostname] must match the hostname in your.hostname.com.conf/nginx.conf ***
```
server {
server_name your.hostname.com;
}
```
- When maintenance mode is toggled on, maintenance-page_off.html will be copied to $server_name-maintenance-page_on.html. E.g: your.hostname.com-maintenance-page_on.html
- This way you can use this with multiple virtual servers, and easily toggle on/off maintenance mode individiually for each site.
- Toggle off, deletes $server_name-maintenance-page_on.html
### Advanced usage
```bash
$ ./maintenance.sh my.hostname.com on
$ ./maintenance.sh my-other.hostname.com on
$ ./maintenance.sh hostname.com on
$ ./maintenance.sh my.hostname.com off
$ ./maintenance.sh my-other.hostname.com off
$ ./maintenance.sh hostname.com off
```
#### Logic in maintenance-page.conf
```
if (-f /etc/nginx/html/server-error-pages/_site/$server_name-maintenance-page_on.html)
{
return 503;
}
error_page 503 @maintenance;
location @maintenance
{
rewrite ^(.*)$ /$server_name-maintenance-page_on.html break;
root /etc/nginx/html/server-error-pages/_site;
}
```
- If your.hostname.com-maintenance-page_on.html exists, error 503 is returned.
- If not, operation is back to normal.
## Added Bonus
#### Add support for custom error pages
*** This will add the error pages included in the repo ***
```bash
$ cp -rp ./error_pages.conf /etc/nginx/snippets/
$ cp -rp ./error_pages_content.conf /etc/nginx/snippets/
```
#### Add to server directive
*** Final configuration should look like this: ***
```
server {
## Nginx Maintenance Mode
include snippets/maintenance-page.conf;
## Custom Error Pages
include snippets/error_pages.conf;
}
```
## Scheduled maintenance
Example shell script:
Name the script, someting like: ```pg_backup_cron.sh```
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Turn on maintenance mode
/path/to/Nginx-Maintenance-Mode/maintenance.sh hostname.com on
# Run database backups
/path/to/pgbackup/pg_backup.sh
# Turn off maintenance mode
/path/to/Nginx-Maintenance-Mode/maintenance.sh hostname.com off
exit 0
```
Add job to cron:
```
$ crontab -e
```
```
@daily bash /path/to/pgbackup/pg_backup_cron.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 #Automated PostgreSQL Backup on Linux
```
Used in this example: [pgbackup - Automated PostgreSQL Backup on Linux](https://github.com/tmiland/pgbackup)
## Why maintenance mode is important
- Helps your SEO rankings
As [recommended by Google](https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2011/01/how-to-deal-with-planned-site-downtime.html), Maintenace Mode is using the 503 service unavailable result code, which tells search engine crawlers that the downtime is temporary.
