I am running multiple rails servers, it would be awesome if this configuration was hosted in redis. Perhaps multiple other backends as well. Currently I have to enable maintenance mode on each node.

I can see the appeal and that is a great idea. I'd be happy to take a pull request for something like that as long as it doesn't add a lot of new dependencies. At it's hart I want turnout to remain a simple tool to use that doesn't take a lot of setup. But an optional feature like that for more advanced users could be nice.

In the meantime, here are a couple suggestions that might help you out.

  • This is mentioned in the README, but you can setup custom maintenance file paths with named_maintenance_file_paths. If you have a path that is shared between your servers then you can put them all in maintenance mode at once.
  • Another option is something like pssh or fabric to trigger a rake maintenance:start` on all your servers. I've used fabric before and it's very easy to setup.

Thanks for the suggestions @adamcrown. I would love to make a PR, but I really really don't have the time right now sorry. Closing this ticket for now.
