Unfortunately, putting the favicon.ico in /app/public did not change anything.
I want to change this icon:

[Bademeister9]

Nevermind it is /app/public/img/icons
after that build your application with npm run build

Or you can change it in /app/dist/img/icons so you dont need to build it anymore

[p6002]

I do not know what you mean, because the /app/dist/img/icons directory does not exist. I found the /app/dist/img/icons location inside the container and I'll try to change the icon manually somehow, hopefully the update won't replace it.

[Bademeister9]

you can create a volume to outside of the container and change it that way. i don't really get it

The /app/dist only exist after build so before it is inside /app/public

[p6002]

Unfortunately, changing the icons to my own did not have any effect. The icon still remains the same.
I will wait when this feature is added to the config file. I'm surprised that no one has come up with this before.

If after passing it in as a volume, if you visit https://[your-dashy-address]/favicon.ico - do you see your icon? If so, it's a browser caching issue, a hard refresh should resolve that. If not, it's not been properly passed with Docker.

In the meantime, I'll take another look for a better solution, as this has been asked a few times now

I was able to get this working in Docker by mapping a local favicon.ico on my filesystem to /app/dist/favicon.ico in the container.

[p6002]

Will this be added to the config file so it can be changed like an icon on the dashboard?

[dev-mcheung]

I would be very carefully about mapping to /app/dist. If you try to rebuild the app at any point in time it will crash the app. I recommend mapping the one in /app/public. Unfortunately, there is still an issue with the build on docker startup in #1051 so you will have to run the Rebuild Application each time the docker restarts.

This seems to be related to #1290 (comment) - follow the link for a full explanation.

You can also set the favicon with the pageinfo.logo setting: https://dashy.to/docs/configuring#pageinfo

Hi
This problems seems to be related to dashy not automatically rebuilding on changes, see #1479 and #1290 (comment)
A new release has just been published, which should fix this issue, so please upgrade to the latest version.
If this is not the case just respond back to this ticket and I'll reopen this issue.
Thanks and have a nice day.
