Research direction

Start by locating TinyPilot's nginx configuration and the page assets used while the backend is unavailable. Read how the current 502 response is handled and check the nginx error_page directive documentation. Done means opening TinyPilot during boot shows a custom message explaining that it is still booting instead of the generic nginx 502 page.

Description

enhancement medium

If you open the page in the browser after TinyPilot has booted but before the backend serves, you see the generic ngnix 502 status page.

It would be cool to serve a custom page that tells you something like: “TinyPilot is still booting, hang tight, we’ll be right there”. This can be done via the error_page directive in nginx.
