 ## 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.

-**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.

+## NixOS
+
+To install hosts file on your machine add the following into your `configuration.nix`:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.extraHosts = let
+    hostsPath = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts;
+    hostsFile = builtins.fetchurl hostsPath;
+  in builtins.readFile "${hostsFile}";
+}
+```
+
+* NOTE: Change `hostsPath` if you need other versions of hosts file.
+* NOTE: The call to `fetchurl` is impure.
+Use `fetchFromGitHub` with the exact commit if you want to always get the same result.
+
+### Nix Flake
+
+NixOS installations which are managed through *flakes* can use the hosts file like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  inputs.hosts.url = github:StevenBlack/hosts;
+  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, hosts }: {
+    nixosConfigurations.my-hostname = {
+      system = "<architecture>";
+      modules = [
+        hosts.nixosModule {
+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix

 ## 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.
