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 Instance

After you uploaded the logo image, you need to restart the whole instance via https://admin.demo.cluster.portraitapp.co.

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
