Hi. I tried using dashboard2 in an embedded node red installation (signalk)  
When trying to load the layout editor I get a response:  
Cannot GET /dashboard/page1  
The URL is /dashboard/page1?edit-key=3jzlyhmp6o7&editor-path=plugins%2Fsignalk-node-red%2FredAdmin  
However the correct URL (which brings up the layout editor) is:  
/plugins/signalk-node-red/redApi/ /dashboard/page1  
However the layout cannot be saved. (Response is: Request failed with status code 404)  
I asked on the signalk discord channel and it was suggested I reach out here:  
" So I have not been able to figure out how to fix this. Way too much going on under the hood that I am not familiar with  
I would say that it is a bug with dashboard2, it does not work properly when node-red is embedded per [Embedding into an existing app : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/runtime/embedding)"  
Any thoughts?
