Removed the
postgresql-clientandxdg-utilspackages from the backend production Dockerfile as they are not used by the application.Analysis
After investigating the codebase, I found that:
psql,pg_dump, etc.xdg-openwhich are not needed in a containerized backend serviceChanges
apt-get installcommands for both packages fromsrc/backend/Dockerfile.devcontainer/Dockerfilewherepostgresql-clientmay be useful for developmentVerification
The codebase analysis confirmed:
This change reduces the Docker image size and attack surface by removing unused system packages while maintaining full application functionality.
Fixes #250.
