Domains maintenaince mode

Maybe something that is asked before, but how to set some/several domains into maintenaince mode and not the entire server?

---

 

Like the easy/technically way, but maybe a suggestion for a new (beta)realease. If you have a lot of domains all suggestions above are a lot of work, so adding them automatically when creating a vhost in /usr/local/nginx/conf/maintenance.conf with value 0 would be very nice. Especially when you work on many domains. Just change the domain value to 1, restart/reload nginx and you're done. Even better would be to add afterward a functionality to it like sitestatus off newdomainX.com

Code (Text):

Code (Text):
   map $http_host$uri $exclude_url {
        default                                                0;
        "~^newdomain1.com/js/jquery.fittext.js"                1;
        "~^newdomain1.com/blog/js/jquery.fittext.js"           1;
   }

 

For me too, but for that to work /usr/local/nginx/conf/maintenance.conf needs the mydomain.conf

 

Ha, just updated /usr/local/nginx/conf/maintenance.conf with all domains and set several to 1; Added several IP's for developers that update some sites. Real life saver!

Some of these sites are/were a mess, so rather put them into maintenance mode. The maintenance page says "Site" not "Server". Translated them to have the correct language and changed the color to a dark theme, as this is more modern. Most applications today have an option for a dark mode.

Code (Text):

sitestatus off

is set as default on my server now!

Thanks, @eva2000 for the info, just a suggestion make "sitestatus off mydomain.com" work

 

hmm, just did some testing with some VPN's, but when using sitestatus off all site go into that mode, doesn't make any difference if I put 0; or 1; so what I posted above doesn't work.

 

The idea was to put a selected site into maintenance mode for all visitors except the whitelisted IP's. Not the entire server. The test with several VPN's proved that it did not work.

TIP: I use Softether VPN from the University of Japan, it's free to use SoftEther VPN Project - SoftEther VPN Project

 

Still struggling with the fact that it won't work, I can't put the selected sites into maintenance mode. The whole server goes into maintenance mode when using sitestatus off

Code (Text):

Code (Text):
   map $http_host$uri $exclude_url {
       default                                                0;
       "~^newdomain1.com/js/jquery.fittext.js"               1;
       "~^newdomain2.com/js/jquery.fittext.js"               0;
       "~^newdomain3.com/js/jquery.fittext.js"               1;
       "~^newdomain4.com/js/jquery.fittext.js"               1;
       "~^newdomain5.com/js/jquery.fittext.js"               1;
       "~^newdomain6.com/js/jquery.fittext.js"               0;
   }

And yes, whitelisted IP's and checked it with a VPN and without VPN.

 

Still no go. Tested domain to 1; and other to 0; but still the same effect. All go into maintenance mode.

 

As with all good things, sometimes it ends. Time to get some sleep

 

It seems that the maintainance.conf completely ignores the setting with the domians. The whitlisted IP works.

Also tried to change the default in sitestatus.conf from 1; to 0; but it gets overwritten to 1; when I run sitestatus off

 

@eva2000 How to set reserved domains to have to maintanance page instead the Nginx test page when pointig a domain with IP to the server. Now I get the
Centmin Mod Nginx Test Page

 

haha, in that case I have to create a 100 domains. So better to edit the existing file to reflex that we have the domain, but that it's under constutruction. I only don't know where the file is located.
