but here's instructions on how to root: https://github.com/dgiese/dustcloud/wiki/VacuumRobots-manual-update-root-Howto

A few of the Xaiomi's and Viomi's are rootable. I have a Gen1 Xaiomi and it's brilliant. I got ssh access to the ubuntu install and installed https://github.com/Hypfer/Valetudo and run it 100% local via my home-assistant install.

dgiese is a proficient vacuum security researcher and has most of that stuff available here: https://github.com/dgiese/dustcloud

The very first thing I did on my old Xiaomi Gen1 was to root it with information from this repo https://github.com/dgiese/dustcloud/wiki

It's come a long way since the early days and with valetudo it's really easy and convenient to hook the vacuum up to Home Assistant. It's actually one of the reasons I was recommending Xiaomi vacuum cleaners to friends and family. Unfortunately they have recently changed the firmware password making it impossible to root without using a serial connection.

Never once has my vacuum connected outside my own network. I know many instructions say you need to install the app to root, however that's not true. You could upload using https://github.com/rytilahti/python-miio as long as the vacuum isn't provisioned yet.

Here https://github.com/dgiese/dustcloud/issues/103 somebody claims there'd(or atleast in in non-MAX version) would be ADB listening but that just doesn't make any sense to me, why would anybody mess their simple Linux system with Android in such a way? I haven't seen any other reference that there'd be Android onboard.

Also, hacking and reverse engineering devices is fun, but my goal here is to get a floor cleaning robot that doesn't leak data outside and can be controlled from HA, and I am not really willing to spend too much time in order to get it done. I have no problem in disassembling, soldering, flashing and hacking but I am looking for a reasonably stable, relatively straightforward solution, rather than another thing to add to the ever growing list of stuff I have to actively keep maintaining.

There is a beta of Organic Maps for Linux. Check out bottom of this page: https://organicmaps.app/

I would still want to to know if I can selfhost something of similar, low complexity in my home network.

I live in a country in Europe where roaming is prohibitively expensive, so use offline OpenStreetMap abroad a lot, with different apps, mostly https://organicmaps.app

https://organicmaps.app/ is well suited for (completely) offline routing.

Personally I am using [organicmaps](https://organicmaps.app/) which is using OpenStreetMap data, and it works really well.

... right now your bookmarks aren't synchronised anywhere so if you lose your phone all your bookmarks are gone.

When that's working I'll change over in a second!

Organic Maps is offline until it needs to download updated map information from Open Maps data.

Search just finds whatever matches sorted by distance so it may not fit one's needs.

Maps.me (iOS, Android), or the 'non-commercial' version of it Organic Maps (iOS, Android). Both apps are free.
