Nowhere can I find information on how to change the favicon. Can anyone give me a hint?

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

[paul-stahl]

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.

[paul-stahl]

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?
