Is it possible to make Stash server read-only?

[GeorgG]

Hi all,

we're currently migrating from an existing Stash (3.7.1) instance to our new Bitbucket Data Center (4.0.4) instance. We'd like to keep the Stash instance around in read-only mode for a while. Is is possible?

Thanks in advance for your support,
Georg

Yes, just change the permission to read-only on each project/repository.

Thanks Mikael. We're talking about roughly 600 repos here. I was hoping there was a central configuration item we could use for that. And then we could of course utilize the REST API to automate this. Any other suggestions?

Yes, it would be nice of you could do it using a global setting, but currently the option is to do it on each repo or use REST API to do it, and in your case I would probably go with the REST API option. There is an issue opened for it, BSERV-2792, so maybe in not to distant future we will see this option.

Thanks again, Mikael. I've upvoted BSERV-2792. We'll most likely go with the REST API option, then.
