Changing status code from 502 to 503 in fallback route

Question

I'm using nginx as proxy server for my project. In case my app is offline for maintenance I'd like to show a fallback page. This works fine so far. The only problem is, that the server response with a 502 error code - which makes sense. How do I change it to a 503 route in my fallback though?

server {
    listen 80;
    error_page 500 502 503 504 @fallback;

   location / {
     proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:3000;
   }

   location @fallback {
       // I need this to answer with a status of 503 instead of a 502
       root /srv/my-project/static;
       try_files /fallback.html;
   }

}

Answer 1

you can set a error page nginx error page

and set somethig like

error_page 502 =503 /maintenance.html

or something like

    location / {
        error_page 502 =503 /maintenance.html;
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass http://unix:/var/run/my.sock;
    }
    location /maintenance.html {
        return 503;
    }
