I did restore on my secondsite(multisite), but Read-only mode is enabled.
How can I login? or How can I turn off Read-only mode?
I tried:
```
./launcher enter app
discourse disable_readonly
```
But nothing’s changed. (I tried `./launcher rebuild app` also)

Was there any error when you tried that?
Alternatively, you could try the following
```plaintext
./launcher enter app
rails c
Discourse.disable_readonly_mode
```

No there was no error
```
root@localhost-app:/# discourse disable_readonly
The site is now fully operable.
```
Here I did your instruction:
```
root@localhost:/var/discourse# ./launcher enter app
WARNING: No swap limit support
root@localhost-app:/# rails c
[1] pry(main)> Discourse.disable_readonly_mode
=> true
```
But still same situation 😖

Are you sure you’re disabling readonly mode on the right site? I see you’re using multisite.
You need to do something like
```plaintext
./launcher enter app
RAILS_DB= rails c
Discourse.disable_readonly_mode
```

I did
```
root@localhost-app:/# discourse enable_readonly
The site is now in readonly mode.
root@localhost-app:/# discourse disable_readonly
The site is now fully operable.
root@localhost-app:/#
```
But it seems it only affects on the first site, not the second site.
(For more info: I configured multisite, and I restored with backup data. Then it happened)

Yes I am using multistite.
I tried with the name of DB ‘secondforum’:
```
root@localhost-app:/# RAILS_DB= rails c
-bash: secondforum: No such file or directory
```
Would you provide any example of `` ?
I followed [Multisite configuration with Docker](https://meta.discourse.org/t/multisite-configuration-with-docker/14084)
I made it with `secondforum` instead of `b_discourse`

It finally worked with `secondsite` (not b\_discourse nor secondforum)
```
./launcher enter app
RAILS_DB=secondsite rails c
Discourse.disable_readonly_mode
```
Thank you 😀
