About static files

Casdoor loads default images, such as logos, avatars, and provider icons, from https://cdn.casbin.org. The files are in the casbin/static repository. Without access to that CDN, the images don't load.

Serve the static files

1. On a machine with internet access, clone casbin/static.
2. Copy the files to a web server inside your intranet and serve them over HTTP or HTTPS.

Point Casdoor at your server

1. In conf/app.conf, replace the default value of staticBaseUrl with the base URL of your web server:

   staticBaseUrl = "https://cdn.casbin.org"

2. Restart Casdoor.
