title: Static 404 page Rails 4: how to use the asset pipeline?
body: <p>I'm using Rails 4.2.3 and am trying to customize the 404 error page in <code>public/404.html</code>. How can I include images from the asset pipeline?</p>
  
  <p>There's an <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/26286472/5086345">excellent post</a> how to build dynamic custom error pages. However, as described there, it requires a whole lot of changes to settings that I, as a beginner, am not ready to take. All I want to do is in my 404 page to include 2 images that are in the asset pipeline. Is there an easy way to do this?</p>
