Is there any update on this issue? We are currently monkey patching our MLflow Docker image to get the icons back.

Hi @harupy,

I would proceed with Option 1:

• This would help other issues like #597 and #111.
• The other assets are already using relative URL. Font Awesome looks like an exception.

At same time, I don’t have mechanism to debug it in the Databricks platform.
