Yes, that’s the only way. The idea is to install a webserver (nginx recommended) to serve the request, if Discourse is up it routes it there. If not it does something else. All the installation process is explained step by step. ---

Hi there, ## Introduction Thanks for that solution, @fefrei! We’ve implemented this on [https://community.hiveeyes.org/](https://community.hiveeyes.org/) and it works like a charm. ## Further thoughts However, we would like to reference the related question by @mlinksva at [Site maintenance mode during rebuilds?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/site-maintenance-mode-during-rebuilds/29697) here, as this also resonates with us and does not get solved by the `/errorpages` solution yet. This is about improving the generic text “_Sorry, we couldn’t load that topic, possibly due to a connection problem._”. We will try to outline this in more detail. ### Serving `discourse_offline.html` This is perfect when users come along fresh to the site. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/b/7b41c02b6f19e1a4b6ae9dff5250abc37eaf0457.png) ### Serving a different “Sorry for that” text However, when navigating within Discourse, it will yell at you like ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/c/b/cb0de4238e3041190c4cd1208fca3fc7cc6633b9.png) without reveilling anything about the reason. As we know you already, there will probably be a customization feature for being able to change that text, right? We might just have missed that. We’ve also not investigated whether the Feature _Admin » Backup » Enable read-only_ would solve that already as outlined in [Maintenance Mode?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/maintenance-mode/91300). Nevertheless, it made sense to us to bring up this topic here again and hope you don’t mind if that would have been silly. With kind regards, Andreas. * * * P.S.: [@staff](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/staff): As this discussion somehow spiraled out of control regarding appropriate Nginx or Web server configuration details, I would like to suggest a thorough refactoring by splitting these posts into an appropriately named topic like “Configuring web server for offline page”. I’m sure you will find a good title. Thanks already if you like that suggestion and find it worth to follow. ---

> [@fefrei](#): > > You must set a reminder run to `letsencrypt renew` before your cert expires in three months. For tips on automating this, see [the certbot documentation](https://certbot.eff.org) Wonderful guide. But if only you had told some commands to auto-renew this certificate also. It’d be a complete guide. Because I’ve seen the link mentioned here. But that link only tells to install the certificate fresh. Or to renew it.

네, 이미 많은 분들이 그렇게 하셨습니다. [Move from standalone container to separate web and data containers](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-move-from-standalone-container-to-separate-web-and-data-containers/29413) 를 참고해 주세요. 단, 컨테이너를 분리하는 방식은 설치 과정이 더 복잡하며, 메타 사이트의 많은 가이드는 단일 컨테이너(스탠드얼론) 설치를 전제로 하고 있습니다. 컨테이너를 분리하기 전에 두 컨테이너가 각각 어떤 역할을 하는지, 그리고 앞으로 어떻게 상호작용해야 하는지 충분히 이해하고 있는지 확인하시기 바랍니다. 특히 주목할 점은: `./launcher` 명령어의 유효한 대상(target)으로 `app`을 더 이상 사용할 수 없다는 것입니다. ---

음, 이 주제에서 왜인지 두 개의 게시물에 여전히 "앞단에 nginx"라고 언급되어 있네요… 그리고 실제로 제가 원하는 것은 - 여기서 오프라인 페이지를 논의하는 것 - 웹 서버에서 http → https 및 루트 도메인 → www로 리다이렉트하는 것입니다. 러시아에서 일부 IP가 차단되어 있어서 Cloudflare를 이를 위해 사용하길 원하지 않습니다. 제가 이해하기로는 웹 전용 컨테이너에서 어떻게 하면 되는지 알아내면 되는 것 같습니다 😀 ---

이제 좀 혼란스럽네요. > [@Alex\_P](#): > > - 오프라인 페이지를 여기서 논의하기 > - 웹 서버에서 http → https 및 루트 도메인 → www로 리디렉션 설정. 일부 IP가 러시아에서 차단되어 있기 때문에 이를 위해 Cloudflare를 사용하고 싶지 않습니다. 위 두 가지 목표 모두 별도의 컨테이너 구성을 요구하지 않습니다. 위의 두 단계를 설정하되, 각각 독립적으로 별도의 컨테이너를 원하시나요? 아니면 위의 내용을 완료하기 위해 별도의 컨테이너가 필요하다고 생각하여 그렇게 보신 건가요? ---

제 이해로는 오프라인(재구축) 페이지 처리는 같은 컨테이너에 둘 수 없는데, 해당 컨테이너가 실행되지 않기 때문입니다. 따라서 현재 주제에서 제안된 해결책은 nginx를 앞에 배치하는 것입니다. 하지만 이 주제에서 논의되었듯이 수동 단계가 많고 OS에 종속적이어서, 이 프론트 nginx를 위해 별도의 Docker 컨테이너를 사용하는 것이 더 안정적이고 유지보수가 쉽다고 생각했습니다. ---

아, 이제 이해가 됩니다. 그렇다면 이전에 링크한 주제는 무시해 주세요. 그 주제는 Discourse 웹 서버와 데이터베이스를 분리하는 것에 대한 논의였는데, 여기서는 필요하지 않습니다. Nginx를 운영체제에 직접 설치하는 대신 Docker 컨테이너에 설치하는 것은 분명히 가능하지만, 이를 위한 Discourse 전용 가이드는 제가 알고 있는 바가 없습니다. 이 경로를 선택하신다면, 이 주제의 원포스터(OP)가 설명한 내용(오프라인 페이지 생성 및 Nginx 프록시 설치를 위한 필수 변경 사항)을 충분히 이해하고 계신지, 그리고 특히 두 Docker 컨테이너 간의 네트워크 설정을 포함한 Docker 작동 방식을 잘 숙지하고 계신지 반드시 확인해 주세요. 또한, 이는 우리가 경험이 없는 분야이므로 도움을 드릴 수 있는 범위가 제한적일 수 있다는 점도 유의해 주세요. ---

이 문제가 더 이상 작동하지 않는다는 것도 깨달았습니다. 11월 초에 @fefrei님의 방식을 구현했는데, 그때는 확실히 잘 작동했습니다. 아마도 `/admin/upgrade`를 사용하는 대신 컨테이너를 수동으로 중지하고 git pull을 실행했기 때문일 수도 있습니다. ---
