automatic update sensitive to file favicon.ico

[luenissla]

Nextcloud is a powerful system with many possibilities. Updating from one version to the next also works perfectly automatically.

I noticed that the updater ‘stumbles’ over the small favicon.ico file in the root directory and therefore stops the process.

The favicon.ico file is a small file that most browsers use. As it should have no significance for Nexcloud at this point, its presence should not be a problem and should be ignored.

It would be nice if this could work in one of the following versions.

Are you placing that file there manually? Because it's likely being ignored. Nextcloud already handles favicon on its own (even when not logged in) via embedding <link rel="icon" href="xxx/favicon/url"> into every page (or the equivalent apple-touch-icon).

Hello Josh,
thanks for your response.

Yes, I copied the file manually into the root directory. Nextcloud does it perfectly right with the embedding in the source code.

As far as I know, however, the browsers, at least the Firefox I use, only access a favicon file in the root directory when they show an icon for a tab.

Hence my suggestion that the update routine should accept this small file in the root directory and not abort it.
