Ok, so to summise after updating Crowsnest in the webUI:
SSH to your Pi and remove the old Crowsnest:
Optionally backup your old config because it might get overwritten during the reinstall:
After that you can install the new version. Run following commands for that:
Reboot Pi:
Browse to https://ratos.local
Edit your new
It's now recommended to use:
crowsnest.conf
-- Don't just paste your old one, there's new stuff!!
Grab your camera addresses/v4l enhancements from the old one and paste them into the correct place.It's now recommended to use:
mode: camera-streamer
instead of mjpeg.
Now change your webcam settings to use WebRTC for best performance:passive-yellowβ’16mo ago

If you are getting freezing, reboot the Pi again and ensure your browser is not blocking WebRTC, as some browsers/plugins do.

Hello,
I'm having issues with the make, it hangs at 75% the pi gets stuck, can't even ssh to him.

Which pi model and which variant of the OS?

ratos 2 - pi3 A
32bit or 64bit?
i suspect 64bit, in which case your issue is a memory issue. Don't run 64bit unless you have a pi4 with at least 2gb of memory.
If you're on 32bit, then i'd take it to https://discord.com/channels/758059413700345988/1036329187771957269

32bits
are you sure? What's the name of the image you downloaded?
If you're indeed on 32-bit, create a thread over on the mainsail discord. Alternatively, you can try to go back to V3. Instructions here: https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1111030612384559214/1111202703440367729
