Hi @TheKorbi,

By default bookstack will show a favicon via the browser's default /favicon.ico fetching but that will fail for you since you have installed BookStack within a URL subdirectory.

You could either place a favicon at /favicon.ico or you could add:

<link rel="icon" href="/<bookstack_subpath>/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

to the custom HTML head setting in the admin area.
