It takes seconds if you move to [the two container install.](https://meta.discourse.org/t/move-from-standalone-container-to-separate-web-and-data-containers/29413)

You can even schedule the switch over at night if you really want to, whilst you and/or your main audience sleep.

**You don’t need a maintenance page.**
