Make the application independent from external CDN when self-hosted

[nanawel]

Currently even with a self-hosted instance on a private area, there are still requests sent outside because of the dependency to tabler-icons and Google Fonts.

It's hardcoded in sqlpage/templates/shell.handlebars so there's no easy way to prevent it, unless overriding the component I guess.

Do you think you could add a way to make all dependencies (current and the ones to come) self-hostable too?
I'm not saying this should be the default behavior, but it would be very handy to have a defined procedure to replace CDN with custom URLs.

Yes, I do want to bundle the icons in the executable, but still haven't got to it :)

I thought I could temporarily override the shell.handlebars for my app but then I can't use {{static_path}} with a custom value since it's currently limited to sqlpage.css and sqlpage.js.

For the same reason, I can't add Android & iOS PNG favicons either.

Don't get me wrong, it already does a lot, but developers always want more 😉

Yes, you can override it for your app ! You don't need the static_path handlebar helper at all, it's just the thing that adds the content hash at the end of files (ee38880ed0dee496 in sqlpage.ee38880ed0dee496.css). Just hardcode the path.

Just hardcode <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://github.com/tabler-icons.min.css" /> in shell.handlebars and put tabler-icons.min.css at the root of your website.

My bad! It didn't work because I made a mistake in the path.
I prefer to use the existing css/ directory for all CSS files, it seems most appropriate. So the code is

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/tabler-icons.min.css">

(it does not handle a custom base path but it's another story)
