Cloudflare Error Page Generator

What does this project do?

This project creates customized error pages that mimics the well-known Cloudflare error page. You can also embed it into your website.

Online Editor

Here's an online editor to create customized error pages. Try it out here.

Quickstart for Programmers

Python

Install cloudflare-error-page with pip.

pip install git+https://github.com/donlon/cloudflare-error-page.git

Then you can generate an error page with the render function. (example.py)

import webbrowser
from cloudflare_error_page import render as render_cf_error_page

# This function renders an error page based on the input parameters
error_page = render_cf_error_page({
    # Browser status is ok
    'browser_status': {
        "status": 'ok',
    },
    # Cloudflare status is error
    'cloudflare_status': {
        "status": 'error',
        "status_text": 'Error',
    },
    # Host status is also ok
    'host_status': {
        "status": 'ok',
        "location": 'example.com',
    },
    # can be 'browser', 'cloudflare', or 'host'
    'error_source': 'cloudflare',

    # Texts shown in the bottom of the page
    'what_happened': '<p>There is an internal server error on Cloudflare\'s network.</p>',
    'what_can_i_do': '<p>Please try again in a few minutes.</p>',
})

with open('error.html', 'w') as f:
    f.write(error_page)

webbrowser.open('error.html')

A demo server using Flask is also available in flask_demo.py.
