How exactly can we activate maintenance mode by admin panel?

I published my project with amazon elastic beanstalk and this process by settings.py will not be very useful for me.

#if True the maintenance-mode will be activated
MAINTENANCE_MODE = True

Thank you.

You can do it in different ways:

• Using Terminal: https://github.com/fabiocaccamo/django-maintenance-mode#terminal

• Using URLs: https://github.com/fabiocaccamo/django-maintenance-mode#urls-1

• Using Python: https://github.com/fabiocaccamo/django-maintenance-mode#python

• If you want to control the maintenance mode state using a model admin, you can create your own backend which reads/writes the state from/to a model field (you just need to override the get_value and set_value methods and set MAINTENANCE_MODE_STATE_BACKEND setting to the backend path, eg. yourapp.backends.MaintenanceModeAdminBackend.

• Recently @paduszyk opened an issue about adding a maintenance mode toggle control in the admin, he was very kind and shared his solution, you can take inspiration from there if that is the solution you need.
