Hi, First time user of Gitea self-hosted here!

I’ve installed the latest version of Gitea from the binary on an Ubuntu Server for a customer, and I am trying to customise the logos used by the web UI.

I can’t find the /public/img/ directory mentioned [here](https://docs.gitea.com/1.18/advanced/customizing-gitea#changing-the-logo) (Gitea Docs).

Apologies if I am missing something obvious!

I’ve found the gitea working directory (/var/lib/gitea/), but there’s nothing in /custom/ - do I need to create this myself?

Solved! Found [this post](https://forum.gitea.com/t/location-of-gitea-html-page-source-and-other-site-assets/1898/6) which walked through how to solve the issue.

For anyone else - ensure your SVG files are in /var/lib/gitea/custom/public/assets/img/! (mkdir if needed 🙂 )
