The fundamental issue is that there’s no favicon showing, neither on bookmarks nor on tabs. Screenshot: Image 2024-04-24 at 1.01.38 pm (it’s the one in the middle)

That makes it much harder to find the n8n tab among other open tabs.

Code inspection gives me this: Image 2024-04-24 at 1.04.59 pm

And manually navigating to https://n8n.mydomain.com/favicon.ico gives me a 404 error. So for some reason our self-hosted npm install doesn’t come with favicon.ico, or the build-in webserver doesn’t serve it for some reason.

So my question is: how to remedy this situation so that the nice n8n favicon shows on our installation? Thanks.

UPDATE:
We figured out that the favicon requires its very own proxy_pass directive in the Nginx conf file:

location = /favicon.ico { proxy_pass http://localhost:5678; }

With that in place the favicon is showing up now screenshot: Image 2024-04-24 at 1.28.53 pm
