# Maintenance Mode
Sharey includes a maintenance mode feature that allows you to temporarily disable the service and show a maintenance page to users.
## How to Enable Maintenance Mode
```bash
python config_util.py maintenance enable
```
This will:
- Ask for a custom maintenance message (optional)
- Ask for an estimated return time (optional)
- Enable maintenance mode immediately
## How to Disable Maintenance Mode
```bash
python config_util.py maintenance disable
```
## Check Maintenance Status
```bash
python config_util.py maintenance status
```
## Manual Configuration
You can also manually edit `config.json` to enable/disable maintenance mode:
```json
{
"maintenance": {
"enabled": true,
"message": "Sharey is currently under maintenance. Please check back later!",
"estimated_return": "2025-08-22 15:00 UTC"
}
}
```
