django-maintenance-panel 0.1.0

Django maintenance panel: show maintenance page only to staff (non-superuser) while allowing superusers and public users.

django-maintenance-panel

Simple reusable Django app that provides a maintenance mode logic:

• When maintenance_mode is off: nothing happens.
• When maintenance_mode is on:
  • Superusers see the site normally.
  • Staff (non-superusers) see a maintenance page after login, with a logout button.
  • Anonymous users & non-staff users see the site normally.

Local install

Build and install:

python -m pip install --upgrade build
python -m build
pip install .
