## Generate your own unified hosts file
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.
### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.

It can remove comments, remove duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound, to name a few.
* [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
* [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
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.
### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.

## Interesting Applications
* [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound, to name a few.
* [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
* [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
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.

To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.

## Interesting Applications
* [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound, to name a few.
* [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
* [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.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.
### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.

* [dnscrypt-proxy](https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Combining-Blocklists) provides a tool to build block lists from local and remote lists in common formats.
- [Hosts-BL](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Hosts-BL "Hosts-BL") is a simple
tool to handle hosts file black lists. It can remove comments, remove
duplicates, compress to 9 domains per line, add IPv6 entries. In addition, it
can also convert black lists to multiple other black list formats compatible
with other software, such as dnsmasq, DualServer, RPZ, Privoxy, and Unbound,
to name a few.
- [Host Minder](https://github.com/jeremehancock/hostminder#readme) is a simple
GUI that allows you to easily update your /etc/hosts file to one of four
consolidated hosts files from StevenBlack/hosts. It is provided as a deb
package and comes pre-installed on [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/).
- [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)

## Generate your own unified hosts file
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.
### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.
### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.
### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.
### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.

This GitHub gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and
uses `wget` & `awk` present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file
and convert it to the format required by dnsmasq. Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into
`/etc/cron.weekly` (or wherever suits). The script is short and easily edited,
also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.
### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.
### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.
### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
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.
You have three options to generate your own hosts file. You can use our
container image, build your own image, or do it in your own environment. Option
#1 is easiest if you have Linux with Docker installed.
### Option 1: Generate in a Docker container
### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
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.
> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
Build the Docker container like this:
We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
command. Set extensions to your preference.
```sh
docker build ./
docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
--replace --extensions gambling porn
```
Access the terminal like this:
If you want to add custom hosts or a whitelist, create either or both files as
per [the instructions](#how-do-i-control-which-sources-are-unified) and add the
following arguments _before_ `ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest` depending on
which you wish to use.
```sh
docker run -it (containerid) bash
-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
```
### Option 2: Generate it in your own environment
You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
### Option 2: Generate your own container image
We provide the
[Dockerfile](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/Dockerfile) used
by the previous step, which you can use to create a container image 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 from the root of this repo like this:
```sh
docker build --no-cache . -t stevenblack-hosts
```
Then run your command as such:
```sh
docker run --rm -it stevenblack-hosts updateHostsFile.py
```
> This will create the hosts file, and remove it with the container when done,
> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so
> files on your host are replaced.
### Option 3: Generate it in your own environment
To generate your own amalgamated hosts files you will need Python 3.6 or later.

used by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.

by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`.
Therefore if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never
leaves your computer.

Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
