If you use traefik: What solutions do you use to show a "Temporarily unavailable" page?

Example: I update a service, the migration goes wrong and I need to fix it. No biggy, it takes about 30 minutes but I want to inform users that happen to visit the site at that time.

By default Traefik shows a 404 but that is misleading to me.

My current solution is, to spin up a simple html status page in another docker container.

services:
  notfellchen-down:
    image: docker.io/joseluisq/static-web-server:2
    container_name: "notfellchen.org"
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      # Note: those envs are customizable but also optional
      - SERVER_PORT=8080
      - SERVER_ROOT=/public
      - SERVER_LOG_LEVEL=info
    volumes:
      - ./public:/public
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.docker.network=traefik"
      - "traefik.http.routers.static-notfellchen-down.rule=Host(`notfellchen.org`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.static-notfellchen-down.service=static-notfellchen-down-service"
      - "traefik.http.routers.static-notfellchen-down.entrypoints=web-secure"
      - "traefik.http.routers.static-notfellchen-down.tls=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.static-notfellchen-down.tls.certResolver=default"
      - "traefik.http.services.static-notfellchen-down-service.loadbalancer.server.port=8080"
    networks:
      - traefik

networks:
  traefik:
    name: "traefik"
    external: true

My problem with this solution: It returns HHT-Stauts-Code 200: Ok where it should be 503: Temporarily Unavailable.

How do you solve that?
