Static Directory

Static frontend files are shipped in priv/static/ and tracked by version control in this repository. If you want to overwrite or update these without the possibility of merge conflicts, you can write your custom versions to instance/static/.

config :pleroma, :instance,
  static_dir: "instance/static/",

For example, edit instance/static/instance/panel.html .

Alternatively, you can overwrite this value in your configuration to use a different static instance directory.
