🌟 Briefly describe the feature

Allow specifying external services (S3, database, cache) during installation to skip auto-deployment.

📝 Detailed description

Currently, services like S3-compatible storage, databases (e.g., PostgreSQL), and caching systems (e.g., Redis) are automatically deployed as part of the installation process. This limits flexibility for users who already operate these components in their infrastructure.

I would like to be able to specify during installation (e.g., via configuration files or prompt) that these services should not be installed, and instead provide connection details for external equivalents.

💡 Why is this useful?

  • Enables integration with existing infrastructure
  • Avoids deploying unnecessary components, saving resources
  • Increases adoption potential for users in more complex

Break all Scripts. Bloat all Scripts. Simple: No.

The user can remove and customize it himself afterwards. I don't want 400 lines of scripts to include any exceptions and whiptails so that users can connect any third-party systems.
