django-maintenancemode is a middleware that allows you to temporary shutdown

your site for maintenance work.

Logged in users having staff credentials can still fully use

the site as can users visiting the site from an IP address defined in

Django's ``INTERNAL_IPS``.

Authored by `Remco Wendt `_, and some great `contributors `_.

How it works

------------

``maintenancemode`` works the same way as handling 404 or 500 error in

Django work. It adds a ``handler503`` which you can override in your

main ``urls.py`` or you can add a ``503.html`` to your templates

directory.

* If user is logged in and staff member, the maintenance page is

  not displayed.

* If user's IP is in ``INTERNAL_IPS``, the maintenance page is

  not displayed.

* To override the default view which is used if the maintenance mode

  is enabled you can simply define a ``handler503`` variable in your

  ROOT_URLCONF_, similar to how you would customize other `error handlers`_,

  e.g. :

  .. code-block:: python

      handler503 = 'example.views.maintenance_mode'

Installation

------------

1. Either checkout ``maintenancemode`` from GitHub, or install using pip :

   .. code-block:: bash

       pip install django-maintenancemode

2. Add ``maintenancemode`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` :

   .. code-block:: python

       INSTALLED_APPS = (

           ...

           'maintenancemode',

       )

3. Add ``MaintenanceModeMiddleware`` to ``MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES``, make sure it comes after ``AuthenticationMiddleware`` :

   .. code-block:: python

       MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (

           ...

           'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',

           'maintenancemode.middleware.MaintenanceModeMiddleware',

       )                

4. Add variable called ``MAINTENANCE_MODE`` in your project's ``settings.py`` file :

   .. code-block:: python

       MAINTENANCE_MODE = True  # Setting this variable to ``True`` activates the middleware.

   or set ``MAINTENANCE_MODE`` to ``False`` and use ``maintenance`` command :

   .. code-block:: shell

       python ./manage.py maintenance 

Please see ``example`` application. This application is used to

manually test the functionalities of this package. This also serves as

a good example...

You need only Django 1.4 or above to run that. It might run on older

versions but that is not tested.

Configuration

-------------

There are various optional configuration options you can set in your ``settings.py``

.. code-block:: python

    # Enable / disable maintenance mode.

    # Default: False

    MAINTENANCE_MODE = True  # or ``False`` and use ``maintenance`` command

    

    # Sequence of URL path regexes to exclude from the maintenance mode.

    # Default: ()

    MAINTENANCE_IGNORE_URLS = (

        r'^/docs/.*',

        r'^/contact'

    )
