Project size and slimming down

I created some fresh Alpine based Docker images for Eramba and noticed that the Enterprise (or just the latest) version of Eramba is quite a bit big bigger (+/- 465MB) than the community or previous versions (+/- 196MB).

Here is a list of the largest directories after an almost clean install:

For me, it would make sense to remove for example the .git directory from the production release (only include it in a source version download or just host a public repository), some other directories like the upgrade directory, seeds, demo’s/examples in the list might also not be strictly needed.

Sorry about that, the install package will be cleaned and updated till tomorrow.

Thank you for the feedback!
