Stripped lean pgAdmin build

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
