Making Trac database read-only

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any way to make Trac read-only? We want
to stop all updates (tickets, changesets, wiki, etc.) to Trac for a
period of time, but we would like to keep the Trac database up and
running for read purposes. I've looked everything I can think of on
google and the edgewall site, and can't seem to find anything that
would enable read-only access.

Is there any way to do this in Trac? We are using version 0.11.4.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

Brian

Remove all MODIFY permissions from all users (and CREATE/DELETE too).

Yeah, I had thought of that, but was just wondering if there was some
trac.ini flag that I could set instead.

Thanks for the confirmation, Noah!

It sounds like you are looking for a one step solution for setting
read only. I think that can be done by following Noah's suggestions.
Create a group that has all of the modify permissions that you
normally assign to your users, and another group that has all of the
view permissions. A simple example is:

authenticated = @view, @modify
view = TICKET_VIEW, TIMELINE_VIEW, ...
modify = TICKET_MODIFY, WIKI_CREATE, ...

When you want to set the site to read only, you can just remove the
modify permission group from your set of users.

This could be more complicated with a complicated set of users and
groups.
