Patrol

Patrol handles two pieces of site infrastructure that should be explicit and dependable: maintenance access and canonical HTTPS routing. Put the public site offline deliberately, or keep requests on the correct secure domain.

Send public visitors to a project-owned offline page or response while approved users continue to work. Access rules can account for signed-in users, IP addresses, and the routes that must remain reachable.

Features

• Take the public site offline without disabling Craft itself.
• Present a branded page or another response owned by the project.
• Let approved users or addresses continue through during maintenance.
• Give an approved visitor a link that adds their current IP address to the allowlist.
• Redirect selected site requests onto a secure scheme.
• Choose whether the canonical host uses a bare or www-prefixed domain.
• Use the status code and route scope appropriate for the deployment.
