Hey @parshukov! I'm here to help with any questions or issues you have. Let's tackle this together!

To set your own icon for a custom component, you need to specify the icon attribute in your custom component class. This attribute should be a string representing your desired icon, typically an emoji or a valid icon name that your frontend can recognize. For example:

icon = "🚀"

Make sure the icon you choose is supported by your project's assets or icon library ^[1].

but if I have a png file, run langflow in docker, how can I use my png with component?

To use a PNG file as an icon for a custom component in Langflow while running in Docker, you would need to ensure that the PNG file is accessible within the Docker container. Here’s a general approach:

1. Place the PNG File: Ensure your PNG file is placed in a directory that is mapped to the Docker container. You can use Docker volumes to map a local directory containing your PNG file to a directory inside the container.

2. Update Docker Configuration: Modify your docker-compose.yml or Dockerfile to include a volume mapping for the directory containing your PNG file. For example, if your PNG is in ./assets, you can map it like this in your docker-compose.yml:

   volumes:
     - ./assets:/app/assets

3. Reference the PNG in Your Component: In your custom component, reference the PNG file using the path where it is accessible inside the container. You might need to adjust the frontend code to load the image from this path.

4. Frontend Handling: Ensure that the frontend is set up to load and display images from the specified path. This might involve configuring the frontend to serve static files from the mapped directory.

This approach assumes you have control over both the backend and frontend configurations to ensure the PNG file is correctly served and displayed.

@dosu how to write the path? like I have a PNG file in the /app/assets folder. I change the icon = "/app/assets/lf.png", and It's not recognized.
