Message to users during deploy (to production) or maintenance

1
Hi, What is the best approach to inform users when they try to visit the application during a deploy that the app is unavailable? The same for during some maintenance. Is there a way that the app will show some messsage when it's in the middle of deploying a new version and when it's restarting, so that users who happen to visit the app at that moment don't just see an error message or some blank page. Thanks!

Hi!

maybe you can try to add and customize an offline.html page

the doc is here :

While you deploy, the app is still usable. There is no direct need to show a message. After the deployment you need to do a restart. Unfortunately, it is not possible to add a custom message or something. Maybe that would be something for the idea forum.

 

If you want to do maintenance in a running app, you could implement your own maintenance. It could for example show a message on the login screen and deactivate the login for users while you are working on it.

Thank you Andreas!
Do you know if there's an Appstore Module that provides such a functionality?
