Why is postiz docker image so large?

[kneelesh48]

Ideally should be less than 1GB, it's 4.3 GB.
Consider breaking the image into multiple images like frontend, backend, scheduler service (if you have one) etc

It’s a monorepo so it’s a bit big, we will try to find ways to decrease the image size

Caddy should be optional as I'm using nginx with certbot. Solutions like cloudflare tunnels make even reverse proxy and certbot unnecessary.

There is one package.json, so it is not optional, we might try to use something like webpack to create one compiled file with the dependencies

node modules alone is 2.7GB. No wonder the docker image is 4.3GB

[kneelesh48]

The docker image created in this project contains all the node modules. However, all the node modules are not needed for production run.

The node modules can be removed by using a multi stage Docker build. This will reduce the size of the image by more than half.
