1. Use external storage
2. upload a Publication icon

3. access [https://www.example.cn/favicon.ico](https://www.example.cn/favicon.ico), you get 404 error.

Ghost version: 1.24.8  
Theme: casper (default)

The /favicon.ico should either be generated from my xxxx.png, or replaced by [https://external.com/xxx.png](https://external.com/xxx.png)
