Thank you Andrew, that helped me :grinning:

I have multiple files in priv/static/ such as favicon.ico (and all the android/apple variants) and some other brand stuff. In my code they are referred to in the usual way. I.e. <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href={Routes.static_path(@conn, "/favicon-16x16.png")} />

These files are not being deployed currently. Fly is doing something to the files, as the links in my resulting markup look something like

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16-118e05e0caa05030e779746a91c5047c.png?vsn=d">

However none of these actually exist, visiting any of the links results in Not Found.

What have I missed / done wrong? :thinking:

I think this is an asset build issue. Fly doesn’t do anything with the files.

You might want to check the file path to you fav icon. For an older project of mine it was like this:

  <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="196x196" href="<%= Routes.static_path(@conn, "/images/favicon-196.png") %>" />

Note the file was in the /images/ folder.

You can try locally compiling the assets and see where the files end up.

Thanks, yes it appears to only affect files directly in /priv/static/.

Listing files directly in endpoint.ex does not fix it. E.g.

plug Plug.Static,
    at: "/",
    from: :rafo,
    gzip: false,
    only:
      ~w(assets images fonts favicon.ico robots.txt favicon-16x16.png)

I’ve moved all the images into /priv/static/images/ and it works fine.

Thanks again :slight_smile:

@andrewbarr Thank you so much! I’m ignorant about Docker files and so you saved me from frustration and delay.
