Read Only Modes in Discourse

Documentation Site Management

I’m not too familiar with this, but I think it would be confusing for enable_readonly_mode to set the site to a staff_writes_only_mode. They are different modes, when doing certain operations, you’d want staff to not be allowed writes on the DB (during a restore, for example, they’ll get removed).

Maybe instead we can do a few other things here:

  1. clarify that the readonly moed sets a TTL in that task’s description
  2. add a task that invokes keep_readonly_mode so it can be extended to more than 60 mins
  3. add enable_staff_writes_only and disable_staff_writes_only tasks
