Maintenance Mode in Laravel
If you want to enable maintenance mode on your page, execute the down Artisan command:
php artisan down
Then people would see default 503 status page.
You may also provide flags:
- 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
When you've done the maintenance work, just run
php artisan up
