rack-maintenance¶ ↑

Rack::Maintenance is a simple Rack middleware to detect the existence of a maintenance.html page and display that instead of incoming requests.

Installation¶ ↑

sudo gem install rack-maintenance

Installation with Bundler¶ ↑

In Gemfile:

gem 'rack-maintenance'

and then run ‘bundle`.

Usage¶ ↑

# config/environment.rb
config.middleware.use 'Rack::Maintenance',
  :file => Rails.root.join('public', 'maintenance.html'),
  :env  => 'MAINTENANCE'

If :env is specified, all requests will be shown the maintenance page if the environment variable is set.

If :env is not specified, the maintenance page will be shown if it exists.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with Rakefile or VERSION (do that in a separate commit if you want a local version)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
