Installation
I'm building a kiosk app which centers around managing footage which is stored on a shared drive.
If the drive isn't there, pretty much most of the app won't run, so I need to test for the drive before all requests, and if not found, redirect to a "setup" page.
Where would be the best place to do this?
I tried in my AppServiceProvider->boot() method, but the redirect didn't work.
My next thought was middleware, but the drive existing is not really a function of the Request.
Where should I do this?
Thanks.

Solution
I solved the problem using middleware in the end:
- Add new Setup middleware class and entry in HttpKernel middleware array
- Check for existence of paths in middleware class
- If not found, and the route name is not already admin/setup (or else we get into a loop) return a redirect to admin/setup
- in admin/setup controller, run the setup logic and load a view
Is a reasonably straightforward solution.
