Background image disappear always

Configuration Frontend
1

Hi,
I have a background image set with local path. The image source I just copy and paste from the file editor: /api/hassio_ingress/JBXjCQs8FtugrMrpwIgUj0uLhFA6CdElIn7oyMyxKG8/api/file?filename=/homeassistant/background/Dashboard.png

The image is visible, but when I close the browser and kill the session, the background is gone. Only when I open the file explorer again, the image appears again. On another lovelace screen I use a web url for the background image and here it always appears. Any ideas?

If this file is stored locally - why do you need such a complex path?

This is the only way it worked. But I agree /background/Dashboard.png would make more sense.

Users usually keep images in www/images folder - and you can refer to an image like “background: /local/my_image.jpg” (“/local” stands for “/config/www”).

Thank you very much. Seems to work now.
