Sometimes, one wants to put a nextcloud installation into “Maintenance mode” from the command line. Assuming your nextcloud is installed in /var/www/nextcloud/, the following command will put it in maintenance mode:
sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ maintenance:mode --on
The following command will deactivate maintenance mode:
sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ maintenance:mode --off
