[BUG] Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/app/dist/index.html' after shortcut icon set to favicon.ico

[BUG] Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/app/dist/index.html' after shortcut icon set to favicon.ico

[govwin]

After mounting the conf.yml instead of the directories, during manual rebuild, no more Not Found. The progress bar appears now.
I'll close this. I'll open a new one if the ever building bug which I had encountered in CASA OS reappears in Open Media Vault.
I guess in my attempt to avoid one problem I created a new problem.
Thanks a lot.

Hi
Can you be more descriptive than "icon is set to a favicon url"?
I interpret, you add an icon which is a favicon url to a section or item through the GUI editor?

The rebuild is normal and expected, otherwise the changes will not take effect.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/app/dist/index.html'
This error should not appear.
Make sure you have bind-mounted you conf.yml to your host if using docker.

Then recreate the container with the same conf.yml, then all your settings will stay the same.
This should solve the problem.

If you are using low end hardware like a raspberrypi, a rebuild may take up to 4 Minutes, so please be patient when changing anything.

I interpret, you add an icon which is a favicon url to a section or item through the GUI editor?

Yes, your interpretation is correct. In the GUI editor, either Add new Item or Edit Item mode, the value of the Icon field is where I put, for example, http://swing.home:1970/favicon.ico, where I host my swing-music.

The rebuild is normal and expected, otherwise the changes will not take effect.

When I use hl-<existing icons> that is applied instantly without any rebuild delay. Dashy has no icon hl-swing. URL icons have rebuild delay but hl-<existing icons> builds instantly, is that correct?

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/app/dist/index.html' in docker log appears during the rebuild delay you mentioned after a URL for icon field is used (and in browser: Not Found). After the automatic rebuild, everything works again.

Make sure you have bind-mounted you conf.yml to your host if using docker.

I don't have to do anything. I just have to wait for the rebuild to complete. But none of the errors indicates that all one has to do is wait for few minutes.

If you are using low end hardware like a raspberrypi, a rebuild may take up to 4 Minutes, so please be patient when changing anything.

The error in the browser Not Found is not helping. If instead it has something like Please wait, dashy is rebuilding or something of this sort would have been better.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, The error in the browser Not Foundis not helping. If instead it has something likePlease wait, dashy is rebuilding` or something of this sort would have been better.

That is not fully true.

This error should normally not appear and during a rebuild there is a nice progress bar.
But due to your dashy container being somewhat corrupt it cannot display the nice progress bar and shows this error.

Please bind-mount your conf, delete and recreate your container to fix this issue.

All changes are applied instantly for a preview until the next page reload, while dashy is rebuilding in the background to make them permanent.

In my docker-compose yml file I have

    volumes:
      - /MyContainerData/Dashy/:/app/public/

You have mentioned bind-mounted multiple times. Volume is already mounted.
When I was using CASA OS, sure I did see that nice progress bar of Dashy but that never completed successfully. I had to every time recreate the container. Here also I had volumes mounted. There was some kind of a problem where I had to recreate the container with the directory mounted sometimes and other times the recreate would work only if I mount conf file directly. No amount of waiting time ever rebuilt the Dashy successfully.
Now I'm using OpenMediaVault containers. Now the only problem is that the nice progress bar never appears. Browser shows Not Found and nothing else during the automatic rebuild after URL based icon changes. If I wait for few minutes, then the page works again.

[CrazyWolf13]

I have mentioned the bind volumes, to make sure you don't lose your whole config file when rebuilding.
There is currently a a bug where when you are running dashy on low end devices it shows "Possible Error" after the progress bar, which is like a timeout, when it took much longer than expected.

Please mount the conf.yml directly as suggested here, mounting the whole /app/public seems to be related to some issues.

Since I haven't gotten any response to my question, again, does the progress appear if you rebuild?

Does it happen on manual rebuild (those can be triggered through the gui, on the top right -> Config -> Rebuild) as well or only with the icon?

[CrazyWolf13]

Great!

Yeah maybe there will somewhen be a new version where there are no rebuilds on each change and fully working folder mounting. For more info see the discussion linked on the release 2.1.2.
