Can you setup Nginx to not accept PUT request on the slaves?
Something like this:
#replication requests will stop here
location ^~/_replicate {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5984;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
#for everything not-replication do not allow PUT requests
if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD)$) {
return 444;
}
Regards,
H
