`npx @backstage/create-app` should support a `--tiny` or `--bare` flag
See original GitHub issueFeature Suggestion
It should be possible to create a new Backstage app with bare minimum dependencies (plugins) installed.
Possible Implementation
For the tiny Backstage app, we can probably remove the following from the current default create-app template
- api-docs plugin
- tech-radar plugin
- cypress E2E tests setup
- sample entities provided in app-config.yaml
- Docker related files
- proxy plugin(?)
- techdocs(?)
- scaffolder(?)
Open for suggestions!
Context
After creating a new app and trying to remove API docs plugin - I felt this was not straightforward for me. I had to update few things in App.tsx and EntityPage and I was still not sure if it’s all gone. I can imagine some newcomers would also want to start from “scratch/tiny/bare app” to understand what’s going on when adding plugins.

I mean, in an ideal world, the default template is the completely bare one, and plugin installation is trivial.
No you are right, I meant that ideally the default should be completely bare. And that we should make it so trivial to add plugins, that the value of a non-bare template becomes almost zero
