- Included permissions for the action. https://github.com/ossf/scorecard/blob/main/docs/checks.md#token-permissions

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#permissions

[Keeping your GitHub Actions and workflows secure Part 1: Preventing pwn requests](https://securitylab.github.com/research/github-actions-preventing-pwn-requests/)

 Restrict the GitHub token permissions only to the required ones; this way, even if the attackers will succeed in compromising your workflow, they won’t be able to do much.

## 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.

### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within Windows 10 denies
access to changing services via other tools except registry hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd`
file to make proper changes to the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done.

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`.

## 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.

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.

## 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 with the base hosts file. The combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.

Data for extensions are stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating this
folder tree, where you will find the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we maintain and provide for you.

## 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.

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
```

> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so

- [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.

### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within Windows 10 denies
access to changing services via other tools except registry hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd`
file to make proper changes to the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done.

## 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.

* [dnsmasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware) 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.

* [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)

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`.

## 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.

timeout resolution. It also does not interfere with a web server that may be
running on the local PC.
## Why not use `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.

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`.

## 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.

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

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
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 with the base hosts file. The combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
Extensions are optional, and can be combined in various ways with the base hosts

Data for extensions are stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating this
folder tree, where you will find the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we maintain and provide for you.

## 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

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
```

> so not very useful. You can use the example in option #1 to add volumes so

- [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)
from the directory one level up.
- [Pi-hole](https://pi-hole.net/) is a network-wide DHCP server and ad blocker
that runs on [Raspberry Pi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi).
Pi-hole uses this repository as one of its sources.
- [Block ads and malware via local BIND9 DNS server](https://github.com/mueller-ma/block-ads-via-dns "Block ads and malware via local DNS server")
(for Debian, Raspbian & Ubuntu): Set up a local DNS server with a
`/etc/bind/named.conf.blocked` file, sourced from here.
- [Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server](https://scripttiger.github.io/dualserver/ "Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server")
(for BSD, Windows & Linux): Set up a blacklist for everyone on your network
using the power of the unified hosts reformatted for DualServer. And if you're
on Windows, this project also maintains an update script to make updating
DualServer's blacklist even easier.

–
[Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.")
is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
- [dnsmasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware)
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.

### Warning: Using this `hosts` file in Windows may require disabling DNS Cache service
Windows has issues with larger hosts files. Recent changes in security within Windows 10 denies
access to changing services via other tools except registry hacks. Use the `disable-dnscache-service-win.cmd`
file to make proper changes to the Windows registry. You will need to reboot your device once that's done.

## 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.

The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.

## 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.

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 1: contact one of our hosts sources

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

In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`.

leaves your computer.
