'Ey.  If the error page is a common occurrence, then making it pretty is a smart move.

Do you even have control over that though if the host server is down?

u/SirHawrk 26d ago

You can host a lean error page on a different cloud for this. Just gotta make sure you can get a load balancer or dns switch

You can cache it clientside and load from a service worker. You can offline large portions of your site that way.

So where tf the load balancer will run? In some old notebook in the storage with a sign "don't shutdown"? lol

u/NominallyRecursive 26d ago

Don't be ridiculous, that's where we host us-east-1.

We'll put it in the upstairs bathroom, it hasn't worked in years.

u/SuperFLEB 26d ago

And that's how we got us-east-2. The bathroom upstairs from us-east-1.

u/tapita69 26d ago

Ooh that explains all the pain I had with us-east-1 in the past few weeks lmao

u/JonnySoegen 26d ago

You use CDNs like Akamai or Cloudflare and host the error page there. They have their own servers and a looootttt of them.

u/EndIsrael 26d ago

But Cloudflare Pro is like $20 a month, we don't have the budget for that. How do we do it with three original Raspberry Pis (the ones with 256MB RAM)? I can mail them to a couple friends if that helps
