Change Favicon

Hello Lubos,
Please how do I change the favicon for Manager Server

I am interested in this too

This is not currently supported officially by Manager.

You could override the one it supplies by accessing a custom HTML page, which defines it’s own favicon and includes Server Edition in an iframe. I haven’t tested it, but it should technically work. It’s a bit of a hack though.

The other alternative is to set something up (e.g. a caching service) between the user and the Manager application. That might allow you to modify the request before it reaches the user.

Either way, the best possible solution would be for Manager to support this natively, and that would mean a feature request.

I also need this as I have subscribed cloud edition and my clients are using it but can’t change favicon.

Any update about Favicon Change? @lubos

For server version you should only put an icon file named manager.ico inside the main folder.

Actually it needs to be called favicon.ico as that is what is written into the head section of the HTML being served up.

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" />

If you use Nginx as the load balancer / https instance you can override the location it looks for when that file is requested. My typical NginX config looks something like this…

# Virtual Hosts - dev.mioserv.dev - https
# Config for secure connection to Manager.io ManagerServer instance
#
# https://dev.mioserv.dev/
server {
    listen                  80;
    listen                  443 ssl http2;
    server_name             dev.mioserv.dev;
    access_log              logs/$host.access.log;

    ssl_certificate                "d:/wamp/certs/dev.mioserv.dev.chained.crt";
    ssl_certificate_key            "d:/wamp/certs/dev-pc.key";

    location /favicon.ico {
        root  D:/wamp/ManagerApi/public_html;
    }
    location / {
         proxy_pass http://localhost:8123;
    }
}

Ubuntu Server - Create favi then copy and rename to Manager.ico
cp /usr/share/manager-server/Manager.new /usr/share/manager-server/Manager.ico
