Allow the favicon to be cached

The favicon is currently loaded directly by url.  This commit changes it
to be loaded by file-loader. Note, the default vue webpack file loader
doesn't support ico file types (because it seems to expect to use a png
here), so add that to the file loader config.

This allows bmcweb [1] to provide caching headers for the favicon, and
avoid downloading a new favicon on every refresh.

Tested: Webui-vue loads, favicon in the network panel loads properly.

webui-vue

webui-vue is a web-based user interface for the OpenBMC firmware stack built on Vue.js.

Hold on... What happened to phosphor-webui?

phosphor-webui was built on AngularJS and AngularJS went End of Life on June 30, 2021. This repository is its replacement.

When will this new Vue.js application reach feature parity with phosphor-webui?

A few, mostly minor, features remain for feature parity. See GitHub Issues label:phosphor-webui-feature-parity for the complete list.

What improvements does webui-vue have?

As mentioned, this application is built using Vue.js, a modern open-source Model-View-ViewModel JavaScript framework supported by an active community and strong documentation. It has been architected to allow organizations to easily update the theme to support their brand. This rewrite takes advantage of front-end development best practices and does not suffer from some of the anti-patterns that exist in phosphor-webui today.

Should I switch to webui-vue from phosphor-webui?

It is recommended you switch from phosphor-webui if you haven't already.

webui-vue has the following additional features:

  • Ability to easily theme to meet brand guidelines
  • Accessibility
  • Full Redfish
  • Improved user experience based on user feedback
  • Language translation-ready
  • Modern front-end framework with an active community and future development roadmap

How can I get involved?
