That error's expected. There's no Dashy server on Netlify (just the built files and a couple of functions), so "Save to Disk" has nothing to write to and always fails there.

The deploy button copied Dashy into a repo on your own GitHub account, and Netlify rebuilds whenever you push to the branch it deploys from. So to change your config:

1. Make your changes in the UI, then use Export Config --> Copy to Clipboard (or Download as File)
2. Paste that into user-data/conf.yml in your repo and commit it (if your copy is from before v3, it's public/conf.yml instead)
3. Netlify rebuilds, and your dashboard picks it up once the build finishes

"Save Locally" works too, but only in that browser, and it'll keep overriding the file there untill you clear it with Reset Local Settings.
