Disabling email on backup restore

Contribute Feature

I agree. An “isolation mode” would be a useful feature. Not just after restores.

For now, something similar could be done with a simple plugin. Something like the following should work:

# name: isolation-mode
# about: Enables isolation mode after restoring backup.
# version: 1.0

after_initialize do
  on(:site_settings_restored) do
    SiteSetting.pop3_polling_enabled = false
    WebHook.update_all(active: false)
  end
end

As an alternative, you could also use the discourse restore CLI command and update site settings and whatnot afterwards with the rails runner.
