Laravel 5 maintenance mode turn on without artisan

Is there any possibility to turn on and turn off Laravel 5 maintenance without php artisan up and down commands when my website is being hosted ?

What I've done: 

Route::get('site/shutdown', function(){
    return Artisan::call('down');
});

Route::get('site/live', function(){
    return Artisan::call('up');
});

The first route is working fine. But when I call site/live the site still is shuted down. What can cause this problem ?

You cannot call another function if your project is already down.

After you run php artisan down, it creates a file named down inside storage/framework.

After running the php artisan up command the file is removed.

You can create the file manually inside the storage/framework. It will down your project. When you want to take your project live again, just remove the file.

Laravel 8 introduced secret in maintenance mode, in which you can bypass the maintenance mode by providing a secret, then your Artisan::call would work.

You could add your routes to the $except var in CheckForMaintenanceMode middleware to bypass the check. Then your site/live route would work just fine.

I think the right answer is missing here.. You could add your route to app/http/middleware/CheckForMaintenanceMode.php 

protected $except = [
        //here
];

So It never would be off.

when you run artisan down. site is not available so when try to call up, your IP can't access site. you must call down with your IP exception.

php artisan down --allow=127.0.0.1 --allow=192.168.0.0/16

or add ::1 to local.

to make that in route without command try to save this command in specific one and call it.

In order to make your site live again using an url, you can create a live.php file which you put in laravel's public folder and then visit http://your.domain/live.php .

In the live.php file you need something like this: (check your projects directory structure if you don't use the default public folder!)

<?php
unlink(dirname(__FILE__) . "/../storage/framework/down");
header("Location: your.domain"); 
die;
