Problems saving Dashy config

I'm running Dashy in a Proxmox LXC container. When I make changes to
the dash and "Save to disk", the changes don't seem to save. If I
refresh the browser or restart the container, the changes are gone. I
have some things on my dash from when I first set it up, but trying to
add new items and/or reconfiguring current items doesn't seem to work
now. Is there something I am missing as far as editing / saving?

Same thing here, I think you're supposed to click the "rebuild the
app" button everytime you make changes or something. I stuck with
organizr till I decide to try it again

Dashy configuration procedure was cumbersome so I switched to
Homepage. So much better!

I had these issues and got so annoyed I started looking for another
dashboard. Landed on Homepage, never looking back. It’s way better
than dashy IMO.

Thanks for the suggestion! I had Heimdall, switched to Dashy, as these
were part of the Tteck Proxmox scripts. I'm not sure why i didn't try
out Homepage, but I installed it yesterday and wont look back either.
I configured most of my homelab and network services already, and its
beautiful. I'm already familiar with YAML, so its been great so far.

Just switched yesterday and already have it setup better than Dashy
was. Love it!

That worked, thanks! I just switched over to Homepage, and will
decommission Dashy.

Awesome! I’ve tried heindall also and it was too minimal for me and
required some CSS changes if you wanted anything decent. Homepage just
gets the jobs done and it’s very easy to set up.

Exactly.  So far, Homepage has been a good blend of "out of the box"
widgets and functionality to scratch my itch. Now i'm curious about
making my own widgets.
