Correct way to setup maintenance page in nginx

[Quintin Par]

Thanks Valentin. This worked like a charm.

I spend nearly 2-3 hours trying for a solution that evaded “if” and just
“try_files”. Even the official wiki supported that.

There are a lot of solutions out in the wild and most for them don’t work.
Thanks again for the help.
