Description
Describe the solution you'd like
Strip all functionality for dev work. I only need to see my local postgres tables, nothing fancy.
Postgres docker image = 269MB
pgAdmin docker image = 392MB
When I look into the files, I can see that some functionality takes up a lot of space.
Among many, I can see a "googleapiclient" package having a whopping 91MB of bloat I don't need.
It would be great to have a version of pgAdmin which is lean and has hardly any features OR an option in the Makefile to disable and remove all functionality that is not needed.
Core functionality
- PostgreSQL database management
- Query tool & SQL editor
- Database object browser
- Backup/restore tools
- SSH tunnel connections
- Internal authentication
- Full web UI
- All admin tools
No enterprise Google etc auth and shenanigans 😍
Describe alternatives you've considered
Adminer...but that's not much of an alternative

Research direction
Start with the Makefile and inspect how the Docker image assembles its Python dependencies, including the reported googleapiclient package. Define a reproducible lean-build option that preserves the listed PostgreSQL management, query, browser, backup, SSH, authentication, UI, and admin functionality while excluding unwanted Google or enterprise features. Done means the reduced image can be built and its retained functionality is verified.
