Cant disable read-only mode

I enabled read-only mode on my forums and im not able to disable it.

I cant disable read-only mode via the /admin/backups because i cant login.


entering the docker image and disabling it via rails does not work either.

rails c
Discourse.disable_readonly_mode

entering the docker image and running

discourse disable_readonly

does not work either.


Anything im missing?

sorry if the bug category is not the correct category. I think this might be a bug

It depends on how you trigger readonly mode.

https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/lib/discourse.rb#L291-L295

There is a list of keys that you can pass to Postgres depending on how you trigger it

Thanks

This command in rails did the trick

Discourse.disable_readonly_mode(Discourse::USER_READONLY_MODE_KEY)

I have the same issue in the latest discourse version.

  1. from inside the web_only container
root@forum:/var/www/discourse# discourse disable_readonly
The site is now fully operable.
root@forum:/var/www/discourse#
  1. ./launcher enter web_only

  2. after that, I still have the “read only” banner on the main page.

So, the issue is not solved yet …

… ok, I could solve this now with the rails c commandline info.
But anyway, this should be improved: for example there could be a special login url with a token to allow admin operations from the UX even in readyonly mode.
