Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metabase is a great tool for creating dashboards and sharing data. But if you host it yourself, you might want to change the default icon (called a favicon<\/em>) to match your brand or company. This small change can make Metabase feel more professional and personalised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisites:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. SSH user with sudo privileged access<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Favicon in the format .ico <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Implementation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: Stop Metabase<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ sudo systemctl stop metabase<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2 : Create a working directory<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ mkdir ~\/metabase-custom && cd ~\/metabase-custom<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3: Back up the original JAR file<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ mkdir -p \/opt\/backup-jar
    $ sudo cp \/opt\/metabase\/metabase.jar \/opt\/backup-jar\/metabase-$(date +%F).jar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 4: Unpack the JAR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ cp \/opt\/metabase\/metabase.jar .\/metabase-original.jar
    $ unzip metabase-original.jar -d metabase-unpacked<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 5: Find and replace every favicon.ico<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Metabase keeps several copies of the icon for legacy build targets. Replace them all<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ find metabase-unpacked -name favicon.ico<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ cp <path to the new favicon.ico> metabase-unpacked\/resources\/frontend_client\/app\/assets\/img\/favicon.ico<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 6: Re\u2011package the JAR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ cd metabase-unpacked
    $ zip -r ..\/metabase-custom.jar *
    $ cd ..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 7 : Deploy the new JAR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ sudo mv metabase-custom.jar \/opt\/metabase\/metabase.jar
    $ sudo chown metabase:metabase \/opt\/metabase\/metabase.jar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 8: Restart and verify<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ sudo systemctl restart metabase
    $ sudo systemctl status metabase<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Changing the favicon in Metabase is a simple way to give your dashboard a custom look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
