Not being an experienced developer (I would say I’m on the basic level, actually), trying the nginx solution to present a maintenance page was a bit of a nightmare. Today, I had this idea and decided to ask Claude if this would be possible, now that I use Railway for other websites and applications: …

Personally yes. If you want belts and braces for web viewers that appear with fresh navigation during the 30-60 seconds, then a maintenance page is fair. You have to weigh the benefit of that against the time to maintain the infrastructure around it.

Now I understand. Thanks. So now I ask: with 2 containers, those 20 minutes or so, are still a thing, the only difference is that I can let it do it on one of the containers, the one that’s not live, and when it’s ready, do the switch. Is that how it works?

Yes, it still takes a while for the container to build and FYI you need to make sure your server is beefy enough to allow that process to take place in parallel whilst serving your community as normal (essentially the most important thing is ensuring enough memory for starters - so very important to…

Now it all makes sense. Thank you. I was initially using this, but it seems like it’s not available anymore: [image] So now I need to go to this one: [image] Which is a bit jump in price… :confused: and what seems to be a less effective server…?

I would recommend at least 4GB and 3 cores (“vcpu”) for this kind of setup …

For reference as it was asked on another topic, the (edit: wrong) answer: Any cheaper alternatives to Hetzner? - #2 by Canapin

This is the only one that matches that… what a difference in price… [image] I guess I will have to build it with one container now and when the time (:money_bag:) comes, upgrade. Thanks for the info, Robert!

i disagree and do think it’s worth the maintenance page. in my experience, when people see the Discoure error page the first thing they do is hit refresh and then they will see the brief maintenance page that will then automatically reload the site when the container swap is complete. it isn’t a lot…

I guess I’m in the middle right now. I understand what you mean, as well as @merefield . It’s a nice touch to have it and if it’s only set up once, not a big deal, I guess? At the same time, if it does indeed take up to 60 seconds, worst case scenario, not everyone will visit the website exactly at …

[图片] Lilly: i tend to add and delete my workers route page whenever i am doing maintenance, but some like to just leave it there all the time (i leave the actual code for the page though, i just add and remove the route). Can you clarify this, in a way that a basic person like me can understa…
