django-maintenance-mode - Running Your Django App in Maintenance Mode

In this video, we look at how to turn on "Maintenance Mode" for your Django application, and how you can display a template that informs your users that your app is undergoing maintenance.

Having a page like this is preferable to taking your site completely offline while maintenance is ongoing.

We'll look at some of the settings you can use with the django-maintenance-mode library, including:
1. A setting that allows you to keep your Admin pages online, while the rest of the site is in maintenance mode.
2. Maintenance mode only for anonymous users, but not for authenticated users
3. Per-view exemptions for maintenance mode

I surely love your great content. However I would like you to elaborate more between this and Django - Lockdown. Thanks

Would be nice if the maintenance mode could be toggled on/off in the Django admin instead of needing to change the settings file. But I am sure there is some more or less quick way to achieve that.

The Django-Auditlog is a great package that is in active development. Full audit logs even for m2m related data. Need through tables for the m2m functionality

Great video (as always)

Question: where does that {% lorem %} come from? Is it a built-in Django thing?

[eduardocardoso]

You talked about page errors, like 503, how about the other common errors ?

[raffritter]

Nice app, I didn't know about it : )

So you're telling me that waiting till 1am to start working on my site isn't the best idea...hmmm
