Using your own logo

If you want to use your own logo, the best option is to upload it on the server. Proceed as following:

Upload via configuration editor

Open the configuration editor from the administration area. Navigate in the explorer to the folder /project/frontend/static/favicons. Right-click on the new folder and choose Upload....

After you uploaded the image, you should see the file inside the explorer:

Do not rename/move the folder favicons and icons itself. Only edit the content.

Restart Frontend

After you uploaded the logo image, you need to restart the frontend. You either restart the whole instance or just the frontend via docker-compose restart frontend on the server.

Reference your image in the Theme

After the frontend was restarted, the image can be used inside your theme config:

application: theme: logoUrl: /favicons/vice-logo.png
