cant get the wallpaper working

[IIIdefconIII]

Hi if i use a https adress as wallpapers it does load, but im personally not able to get my local wallpaper.jpg to show up
config docker compose:

  homarr:
    container_name: homarr
    image: ghcr.io/ajnart/homarr:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock # Optional, only if you want docker integration
      - $DOCKERDIR/homarr/configs:/app/data/configs
      - $DOCKERDIR/homarr/icons:/app/public/icons
      - $DOCKERDIR/homarr/data:/data
    ports:
      - 7575:7575
    environment:
      - TZ=$TZ
      - DISABLE_ANALYTICS="true"   
    ```
    
    config GUI:
    
![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/487444af-8f9f-4669-aba9-d966f7d9f855)

i tried several pathjs, so the $dockerdir variable ios working fine in 42 containers i have running, even the config and data folders getting fil,les correctly with the db.sqlite and default.json.

i also tried in the docker compose:
      - $DOCKERDIR/homarr/data:/data
 and
      - $DOCKERDIR/homarr/data:/data

In the webGUI is also rried several paths:
/imgs/backgrounds/wallpaper10.jpg
wallpaper.jpg
/wallpaper.jpg

I eventried the extention png.

Does anyone wanne take a look it what im messing up here?

i mean i could upload it here and refer its url to see if that works... but i dont think thats nice and could be considered spam

Only the public folder is served. Put it into the icons folder you mounted (/public/ = /)
Then you can access it with /icons/wallpaper.jog or something similar

Remember to restart homarr when you add new icons / media so that they are taken into account

thanks for the quick response but its still not showing up, yes i restarted it already.

services:

    volumes:

      - $DOCKERDIR/homarr/configs:/app/data/configs
      - $DOCKERDIR/homarr/icons:/app/public/icons
    ports:
      - 7575:7575
    environment:
      - TZ=$TZ
      - DISABLE_ANALYTICS="true"     
    labels:
      ## Pullio
      org.hotio.pullio.notify: "true"
      org.hotio.pullio.update: "true"
      org.hotio.pullio.discord.webhook: yourwebhook

I really cantmake sense why its not working, sry for bothering and i dont have any mounting problems with the other 40 containers.

I saw that you resolved the issue but I'm still answering for reference.
The proper path is actually /app/public/..., not just /public/....
Here's the helpful doc page about the icons in our docs:
https://homarr.dev/docs/advanced/customizations/icons#using-your-icons

I have personally setup a different folder than icons for random imagery that I can use for the background or the notebook like with /app/public/images on my own system.
