[docker] Is it possible to configure a custom favicon?

[Latrolage]

Is there a way to configure a custom favicon on the hosting side

[mrpaulblack]

Yes there is: for simple theme the favicon is located in https://github.com/searxng/searxng/tree/master/searx/static/themes/simple/img -> favicon.png as well as favicon.png you can change those files to a custom favicon in your script installtion without docker.

With docker: mount the changed files as two volumes likes this (example for docker-compose) inside the SearXNG container; the custom favicon.png as well as favicon.svg file both need to be in the same dir as the docker-compose file for this example:

  volumes:
    - ./favicon.png:/usr/local/searxng/searx/static/themes/simple/img/favicon.png
    - ./favicon.svg:/usr/local/searxng/searx/static/themes/simple/img/favicon.svg

Does this answer your question?

Hi @m0jon ,
I would recommend against modifying SearXNG for beginners. If you still insist, this goes into the docker-compose.yml file in the SearXNG service (make sure indentation is correct)

volumes:
- ./favicon.png:/usr/local/searxng/searx/static/themes/simple/img/favicon.png
- ./favicon.svg:/usr/local/searxng/searx/static/themes/simple/img/favicon.svg

Hello, i tried both this method and to manually replace the favicons in the container (and create a commit image to save the changes) nothing worked, the favicon stays the same.

Could you please help me ?
Side note: i use the official searxng image available on hub.docker.com.

I just tried to remove everything related to favicons, made a docker commit to test it (there was no favicons), then i injected the two png and svg favicons i wanted, made another docker commit and the default favicon is back, despite the two files located in /usr/local/searxng/searx/static/themes/simple/img/ being the one i imported. I don't understand.

[SpidFightFR]

okay i found the solution:

In the base.html file (located in : /usr/local/searxng/searx/templates/simple/base.html inside the container), i had to remove the line below the <link rel="icon" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='img/favicon.png') }}" sizes="any"> line, it contained the svg version of the favicon that seemed to glitch.

Once that line was removed, a restart of the container was enough to refresh the favicon and set the png version.

so I tried this, in my compose file:

    volumes:
      - ./searxng:/etc/searxng:rw
      - E:\Docker\searxng\searxng-docker\favicon.jpg:/usr/local/searxng/searx/static/themes/simple/img/favicon.png
      - E:\Docker\searxng\searxng-docker\favicon.svg:/usr/local/searxng/searx/static/themes/simple/img/favicon.svg
      - E:\Docker\searxng\searxng-docker\searxng.png:/usr/local/searxng/searx/static/themes/simple/img/searxng.png
      - E:\Docker\searxng\searxng-docker\searxng.svg:/usr/local/searxng/searx/static/themes/simple/img/searxng.svg

but ot doesn't work, also tried ./searxng.png instead of E:(location) but also doesn't work so not sure how to fix this

Dang, you guys rock.

Thanks for the info !
I used the volumes: addition to my docker-compose to change the image to match my dns.
