How to change favicon?

[Matthias]

Hello,

how can i change the favicon of my bbb/greenlight installation?

Following https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/administration/customize/ does not work. After restarting docker, I can see the changed and correct favicon for a few seconds, before nginx loads the website. As soon as the "nginx 502 Bad Gateway" goes away and the site loads, the new favicon is changed to the old BBB one.

Look here:

I think my previous response was only private.

I've tried that method as well. Put the .ico in  /var/www/bigbluebutton-default/assets/. Even with incognito tab/cleared cache/second browser, it still only shows the BBB favicon

I've also forgot to mention, that I dont have greenlight v3 installed:  Powered by Greenlight. release-2.14.0

Any other ideas?

I described the procedure sometime ago and updated the wiki in June, but looks my wiki addition never made it online. No clue why one should put updates there if that is not used.

I could only achieve it using nginx.

I added favicon.nginx to

/etc/bigbluebutton/nginx

with content

location = /favicon.ico {
    alias /var/www/bigbluebutton-default/site/favicon.ico;
}

and put my desired favicon.ico to the above location. After restarting nginx, all pages (Greenlight v3 and BBB) use the same correct favicon.

Hi,

your solution seems like a nice workaround. Perhaps you should contact the developers/ask them again to include your changes.
