I tried placing a favicon.ico file in the same folder as my index.html in my shiny server ("/srv/shiny") but the landing page still isn't showing the favicon. Just wondering if that's the correct place to put a favicon?

Hi Dean,

I have used the below in my ui.R and it works

shinyUI(fluidPage(

tags$head(tags$link(rel="shortcut icon", href="//DATA URI or the link//")),

......

))

Regards

SD

Also the below should work

/www/favicon.ico should work

I think Dean asked for a "global" favicon, on Shiny-server landing page, not for each app.

It seems (works for me) that putting a favicon.ico in applications root folder (srv/shiny-server in my case) works. But I'm not using a custom index.html page.

And it took some time to update, even after removing the cache. Maybe a shiny-server is what's needed.

HTH,

Robin

Thanks Robin and Sushanta. Robin is correct, I meant for the index page. I got it to work, thanks!
