Description

I'm new to Gitea, it's really a great project.

I followed the instructions on https://docs.gitea.com/administration/reverse-proxies#nginx-and-serve-static-resources-directly, run make frontend and config STATIC_ROOT_PATH = /static, also rename public/ directory to static/.

Everything works fine, except when I visit a non-existent link, the 404 image is broken. The url https://git.example.com/static/assets/img/404.png return 404, due to 404.png does not exist under directory /static/assets/img/.

There should be the same issue with other error codes, such as 500, etc.

This is a bit strange.

due to 404.png does not exist under directory

404.png has been removed in 1.23, see #31409
But you said that your version is 1.22.1, so 404.png should be there.

Because they were using wrong branch. They were using "main (1.23)" branch to "make frontend" for 1.22

I replaced the binary with main-nightly version, now it goes well. Thanks guys.

Actually the document should be updated:

Use the correct git branch to checkout & build
(OR) Use ./gitea embedded extract to get the assets, no need to figure the git branch nor build manually.
