Wiki: Changing Favicon (Using Docker)

[anhuntz]

We are running Wiki.js through a docker container. How can the favicon be changed? _I don't want to risk changing it manually by going into the docker container files_, and I can't seem to find an option to change it within the site itself. Help!

Host Info:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04, Docker
Wiki.js version: Latest

Just bind mount the /wiki/assets/favicon.ico file and /wiki/assets/favicons/ folder. You don't manually "change" the docker container files, but "override" them.

It's better make via docker-compose.yaml
in your wiki image config remap folder from container to the host and put favico to this folder

volumes:
      - /path/to/your/host/folder/favicons:/wiki/assets/favicons

I'm also using Docker via DigitalOcean droplet and I'm not super familiar with how to get to a folder in the app, from Linux.

I am able to login to my wiki.js instance via SSH following these instructions. I just don't know what to do next.

Can someone provide the commands I should enter to get to this /wiki/assets/favicons/ folder, and how to substitute the default favicon with our new one?

@jord8on You need to know how your container is started - via docker-compose or docker run command - there is different commands to solve it.

@jord8on This works with the Digital Ocean droplet. Skip the line with -e LETSENCRYPT_DOMAIN if you are not using ssl. Note that this will NOT erase any of your content. The wiki docker us just the front end.

docker stop wiki
docker rm wiki
docker create --name=wiki \
-e LETSENCRYPT_DOMAIN=YOUR_HOST_NAME -e LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS -e SSL_ACTIVE=1 \
-e DB_TYPE=postgres -e DB_HOST=db -e DB_PORT=5432 -e DB_PASS_FILE=/etc/wiki/.db-secret \
-v /etc/wiki/.db-secret:/etc/wiki/.db-secret:ro -e DB_USER=wiki -e DB_NAME=wiki -e UPGRADE_COMPANION=1 \
-v /etc/wiki/custom-assets/favicons:/wiki/assets/favicons \
-v /etc/wiki/custom-assets/favicon.ico:/wiki/assets/favicon.ico \
--restart=unless-stopped -h wiki --network=wikinet -p 80:3000 -p 443:3443 requarks/wiki:2
docker start wiki
docker logs wiki
