Description

The maintenance mode page is currently in Nextcloud branding and doesn't respect the theming app or themes, because nothing of this is loaded during that. We should maybe update the maintenance page to a plain unbranded page that would not contain any Nextcloud branding, but a generic branding to not interfere with branded versions of Nextcloud.

Should we maybe simply load the content from a static HTML file instead to allow easy customisation even if nothing else is loaded?

@nextcloud/designers Do you have an idea for this?

Research direction

Start by locating the maintenance mode page and checking how it is loaded when the theming app and themes are unavailable. Review the existing branding and the proposed static HTML approach with the design team. Done means the page is generic or easily customizable and does not interfere with branded Nextcloud versions.
