I have a binhex/arch-qbittorrent as custom apps deployed via Docker Compose and I was looking how to change the icon. I could you could do it on Dragonfish but I can’t seem to find the parameter for Electric Eel?

I had a similar issue;

I ended up editing this file
/mnt/.ix-apps/metadata.yaml

And adding

metadata:
icon: {some url}

It would be nice as a feature to add that capability to the UI though.

That’s what I did but didn’t work. Or maybe I can’t use a local file?

I personally went with the applications web browser icons, which seemed to work.
e.g. http://{hostname}:8765/favicon.ico
I found them by looking at the html of the specific application.

Try file:////{path to file}, play with the number of slashes after file:

Please let us know what worked.
Thanks.
