Laravel - Maintenance Mode (artisan)

#webdev #laravel #programming

If you want to enable maintenance mode on your page, execute the down Artisan command:

php artisan down
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then people would see default 503 status page.

Image description

You may also provide flags, in Laravel 8:

  • the path the user should be redirected to
  • the view that should be prerendered
  • secret phrase to bypass maintenance mode
  • retry page reload every X seconds 
php artisan down --redirect="/" --render="errors::503" --secret="1630542a-246b-4b66-afa1-dd72a4c43515" --retry=60
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Before Laravel 8:

  • message that would be shown
  • retry page reload every X seconds
  • still allow the access to some IP address 
php artisan down --message="Upgrading Database" --retry=60 --allow=127.0.0.1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

When you've done the maintenance work, just run:

php artisan up
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
