how do i make a mastodon 500 page show a maintenance message vs. a generic error message? i wanna show when it's down because of an upgrade
@squirrel that is a GREAT idea and I don't know how to do it. There must be a different error returned internally when the service just isn't running at all...
@squirrel I guess the uh. "easy" way? is to have a different 500 page you copy in right before you go down for maintenance and then copy the normal one back in when you're back up
@InspectorCaracal yeah haha that's what i thought
@squirrel actually I think I might know how to do that but I have to get on a computer to check
@squirrel http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E503.html
so I think changing the nginx to a different file for 503 might work?
@InspectorCaracal ohhh okay
I'll try that
semi-related: computer fairies didn't have a 500 page until very recently when i fixed nginx after all this time and i thought that was normal and other instances has done something i didn't know how to, to have their 500 page
