Hey thanks for sharing. Quick question: does this still apply for 5.5 / 5.6? Have you tested it?

Getting the error

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Container\Container::isDownForMaintenance()

any solutions? Doing the following doesn't seem to work anymore.

<?php
use Illuminate\Container\Container as IlluminateContainer;

class Container extends IlluminateContainer
{
  public function isDownForMaintenance() {
    return false;
  }
}
