Ability to disable Docker-services

Hello,

I would like to know if Quantrocket supports to disable unused Docker-services before installation, in order to use less RAM and disk storage.
For example removing from docker-compose.yml:
houston, codeload, history, fundamental, realtime, postgres, jupyter, theia, moonshot, zipline.

Thank you

Removing some services will work in some cases but it's not documented or officially supported. You definitely can't remove houston, as all inter-container communication goes through that container. Theia you can remove. Others, you'll have to experiment and see. You might not save as much disk space as you would expect because of the use of shared layers in Docker. And the RAM usage is not that significant for an idle container. So overall I doubt it would be worth the trouble and potential risk of confusing errors.
