[Question]: Does librechat.yaml support reading from the file system?

[mansiibm]

Hi I was planning to add an svg to my dockerfile in the format -

COPY your icon into the static/public folder

COPY ./docker/config/xai_icon.png /app/public/xai_icon.png

copy the librechat.yaml

COPY ./docker/config/librechat.yaml /custom_config/librechat.yaml

Now , I wish to pass it to yaml as

 titleModel: "grok-3"
  modelDisplayLabel: "x-AI"
  iconURL: /xai_icon.png

Is it possible ?

Hi Danny, from the docs- if the given names are there then inbuilt icons will be rendered , but if we have to use our own icons then web based urls are required? https://www.[librechat.ai/docs/configuration/librechat_yaml/object_structure/custom_endpoint#iconurl](https://www.librechat.ai/docs/configuration/librechat_yaml/object_structure/custom_endpoint#iconurl)

Can you please confirm this?

Danny can you please confirm this…..was crucial , I have tried reading file system but it failed for yaml . Used the above config only . Works for web url only .

I have not had any luck trying to pull an iconURL off the local file system. imgur.com URLs are the only ones I have working successfully.

Hey you can encode the svg file from the LC code something like this -

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%2024%2024%22%20aria-hidden%3D%22true%22%20focusable%3D%22false%22%20fill%3D%22currentColor%22%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D%22m3.005%208.858%208.783%2012.544h3.904L6.908%208.858zM6.905%2015.825%203%2021.402h3.907l1.951-2.788zM16.585%202l-6.75%209.64%201.953%202.79L20.492%202zM17.292%207.965v13.437h3.2V3.395z%22%3E%3C%2Fpath%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E

you can pass the above value in the iconURL and it will render the icon, this I created using the XAIcon from the LC's code for the xai icon .

Otherwise you can also host the icon somewhere and pass the URL to the icon URL.

But I believe from this tag- ghcr.io/danny-avila/librechat-dev-api:545a9099537c85ba1bd942b9f99215ecf5e6ee15, if you use the custom endpoint name as- xai it will work without passing the URL separately.

using data:image is a great solution. Thanks so much for the idea.
