+
+## The office_hours directive
+
+The office_hours directive expects a list of time ranges separated by spaces in the format: "HH:mm-HH:mm". The hours should be in 24 hour format, and the minutes are optional. The word "closed" can be used to indicate that the server is not operating on that day.
+
+The first range will be used as the default value, and the rest will be read from right to left, starting with sunday.
+
+When the current time is within those hours, the server will operate as usual, otherwise it will return a 403 with a page showing the operating hours of the service. See this example for a page that's always closed[2]
+
+=> /closed.html [2] A page that is never open.
+
+### Example 1: Open 24 hours
+
+Don't use this directive.
+
+### Example 2: Open every day from 08:30 AM to 7:00 PM
+
+```
+location / {
+ office_hours 8:30-19;
+}
+```
+
+### Example 3: Open monday to saturday from 08:30 AM to 7:00 PM, but closed sundays
+
+```
+location / {
+ office_hours 8:30-19 closed;
+}
+```
+
+### Example 4: Open weekdays from 08:30 AM to 7:00 PM, Saturdays 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, closed on sundays
+
+```
+location / {
+ office_hours 8:30-19 10-16 closed;
+}
+```
+
+### Example 5: Open weekdays from 08:30 AM to 7:00 PM, closed on thursdays, reduced hours on weekends.
+
+```
+location / {
+ office_hours 8:30-19 closed 8:30-19 10-16 10-16;
+}
+```
+
+### Example 6: Closed every day.
+
+Uninstall nginx.
+
+## The office_hours_additional_information directive
+
+With this directive you can specify additional information for when the server is closed, such as contact information or alternate locations for the data. It accepts a text containing HTML that will be injected to the body of the office hours page.
+
+```
+location / {
+ office_hours_additional_information "<h1>Additional Information></h1>
+ <p>Please do not email us asking to open the website 24/7. Send all complaints to friendship.quest/@ruben</p>"
+}
+```
