Hi there, Is there a slick way to get a maintenance splash page in place while the docker is rebuilding? The host is an ubuntu 22.04 server ? Should I just install nginx and splash a page that way. I wish the discourse docker could still be running while the rebuild process is occuring. But I see that it rips down the current docker closer to the start of the build process. Cheers

This gives you downtime of just a minute while the new container starts up. Which way is “easier” is a matter of opinion.
