maintenance mode

[barisusakli]

when enabled through the ACP only admins can access the forum, others are served a maintenance page

Would be cool if we could just spawn a simple node.js app with express that serves just the maintenance mode page, this way if you're derping around with NodeBB (restarting/crashes/etc) the users will still see this page?

[julianlam]

Good idea. As long as loader.js is still running it should be fine.

Cluster restarting needs some TLC however.

Actually, it's not quite done... needs styling. This is what it looks like right now 😆

[cnvo]

Nevertheless, this should be fun styling. I would use the outgoing page template as a base (without the header menu's, and etc.)

Needs:

• Login form
• To allows POST /login through

How to login as admin when the site is in maintaince?

[julianlam]

@andreapernici Not implemented yet -- please see the unchecked box in my last comment 😄

Edit: Did you accidentally lock yourself out? If so, run hset config maintenanceMode 0 in redis

[julianlam]

Looks better, I hope 😄

[andreapernici]

Tried @julianlam
hset config maintenanceMode 0

but is not working from redis-cli

[julianlam]

Please report NodeBB version and commit hash.

I solved doing this on 0.5.3-dev

hset config maintenanceMode 1

and then

hset config maintenanceMode 0

Restarted Redis and Nodebb.
