set favicon in django admin

Question

I need to set up a favicon for django admin interface.

It would be best to do it globally, without overriding templates for all apps.

What is the cleanest way

Answer 1

To avoid duplicating anything of the original file, you can actually override the template while extending it (docs). So create your own template/admin/base_site.html:

{% extends "admin/base_site.html" %}
{% load static %}
{% block extrahead %}
    
{% endblock %}
