 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).

+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 ## Third-Party Hosts Managers
 
-* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).

+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 ## Third-Party Hosts Managers
 
-* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

 ## Interesting Applications
 
+* [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy. And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+
 * [Hostile](https://github.com/feross/hostile) is a nifty command line utility to easily add or remove domains from your hosts file.  If our hosts files are too aggressive for you, you can use `hostile` to remove domains, or you can use `hostile` in a bash script to automate a post process each time you download fresh versions of hosts.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).

+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 ## Third-Party Hosts Managers
 
-* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

 ## Interesting Applications
 
+* [Maza ad blocking](https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking) is a bash script that automatically updates host file. You can also update a fresh copy. And each time it generates a dnsmasq-compatible configuration file. Fast installation, compatible with MacOS, Linux and BSD.
+
 * [Hostile](https://github.com/feross/hostile) is a nifty command line utility to easily add or remove domains from your hosts file.  If our hosts files are too aggressive for you, you can use `hostile` to remove domains, or you can use `hostile` in a bash script to automate a post process each time you download fresh versions of hosts.
 
-* [macOS Scripting for Configuration, Backup and Restore](https://github.com/tiiiecherle/osx_install_config) helps customizing, re-installing and using macOS. It also provides a [script](https://github.com/tiiiecherle/osx_install_config/blob/master/09_launchd/9b_run_on_boot/root/1_hosts_file/launchd_and_script/hosts_file_generator.sh) to install and update the hosts file using this project on macOS. In combination with a [launchd](https://github.com/tiiiecherle/osx_install_config/blob/master/09_launchd/9b_run_on_boot/root/1_hosts_file/launchd_and_script/com.hostsfile.install_update.plist) it updates the hosts file every x days (default is 4). To install both download the github repo and run the [install script](https://github.com/tiiiecherle/osx_install_config/blob/master/09_launchd/9b_run_on_boot/root/1_hosts_file/install_hosts_file_generator_and_launchdservice.sh) from the directory one level up.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).

+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).

+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).

+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.

-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).

+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).

-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
 
 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 ## Extensions

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).

+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is optionally extensible.  Extensions are used to include domains by category.  Currently we offer the following categories: `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn`.
 
-Extensions are optional, and can be combined in various ways wth the base hosts file.  The combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:

+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is optionally extensible.  Extensions are used to include domains by category.  Currently we offer the following categories: `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn`.
 
-Extensions are optional, and can be combined in various ways wth the base hosts file.  The combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment.
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
 
 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
 
-### Usage

-#### Using Python 3:
-
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment.

+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 ## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
 
 Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.

 Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).

+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 ## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
 
 Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
 
-We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
-or non applicable target.
+We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown, or non-applicable target.
 
 Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 ## Location of your hosts file
+
 To modify your current `hosts` file, look for it in the following places and modify it with a text
 editor.
 
-**Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` file.
+**macOS (until 10.14.x macOS Mojave), iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` file.
+
+**macOS Catalina:** `/private/etc/hosts` file.
 
 **Windows**: `%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` file.

 manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is in place.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:

+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 ## Third-Party Hosts Managers
 
-* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:

+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).

+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 ## Third-Party Hosts Managers
 
-* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+You have two options to generate your own hosts file.  You can do it in your own environment, or within a Docker container.  We'll cover Docker first because it's a short section.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) that you can use to create a Docker container with everything you need.
+The container will contain Python 3 and all its dependency requirements, and a copy of the latest version of this repository.
+
+Build the Docker container like this:
+
+```sh
+docker build ./
+```
+
+Access the terminal like this:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it (containerid) bash
+```
+
+### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment.
+
+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
 
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment.
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py

 The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the
 local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions
 (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it
 will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

 Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

+To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh

 ## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
 
 Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
 
-We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
-or non applicable target.
+We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown, or non-applicable target.
 
 Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
 interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.

 ## Location of your hosts file
+
 To modify your current `hosts` file, look for it in the following places and modify it with a text
 editor.
 
-**Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` file.
+**macOS (until 10.14.x macOS Mojave), iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` file.
+
+**macOS Catalina:** `/private/etc/hosts` file.
 
 **Windows**: `%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` file.

 Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the following commands to
 manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is in place.

-* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.
