Turn board offline

Hi!

There are two choices depending upon what you want to achieve.
If you just want to prevent users from participating, You could put your discourse in a read-only mode by visiting admin > backups and clicking the Enable read-only option.

Alternatively, if you want to take your discourse down, you could follow this guide:

Once you’ve added the offline page, you can simply pass the following command: ./launcher stop app which will stop the discourse container and perpetually display the offline page unless you restart the container.
