Is there a way to put SS in read-only mode? i.e. no writes to db and no file uploads allowed.
We've moved the forum!
Please use forum.silverstripe.org for any new questions
(announcement).
The forum archive will stick around, but will be read only.
You can also use our Slack channel
or StackOverflow to ask for help.

Depends what you mean by "read-only" mode. You could create a permission group that doesn't have access to the Files and Images section and then alter the "edit" permissions of your SiteTree Pages (Access tab > Who can edit this page?)
