 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.
 
-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  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
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+

 ## Goals of this unified hosts file
 
 The goals of this repo are to:
 
 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.

 devices under a variety of operating systems.

It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.

-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  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
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]

 ## Release management
 
-This repository uses [Release-It!](https://webpro.github.io/release-it/), an excellent CLI release 
-tool for Github repos and npm packages, to automate creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases).
-This is why the [package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json) and 
-[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json) files are bundled.

 ## Goals of this unified hosts file
 
 The goals of this repo are to:
 
 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts

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

+  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

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.
 
-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  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
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```

This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.

 ## Goals of this unified hosts file
 
 The goals of this repo are to:
 
 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts

 devices under a variety of operating systems.

It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.
 
-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  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
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn

-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]

 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts

 devices under a variety of operating systems.

Pi-hole uses this repository as one of its sources.     This is a very interesting project to setup yourself, or you can [buy one pre-loaded](https://uk.pi-supply.com/products/pi-hole-kit-network-wide-ad-blocker).
+- [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.

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.
 
-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  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
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```

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

+
+## 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;

+- 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 = {

+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;

 ## Goals of this unified hosts file
 
 The goals of this repo are to:
 
 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts

 It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
 devices under a variety of operating systems.

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

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.
 
-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  folder tree where you will find the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we maintain and provide for you.

+maintain and provide for you.
 
 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]

 ## Goals of this unified hosts file
 
 The goals of this repo are to:
 
 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts

 devices under a variety of operating systems.

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.
 
-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  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
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```

+## 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
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;
+  };
+}
+```

 ## Goals of this unified hosts file
 
 The goals of this repo are to:
 
 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts

 It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
 devices under a variety of operating systems.

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

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.
 
-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  folder tree where you will find the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we maintain and provide for you.

+maintain and provide for you.
 
 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
 
 `--help`, or `-h`: display help.
 
 `--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
 
-* Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
-* No extensions are included by default.  Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag
-to include any you want.
-* Your active hosts file is *not* replaced unless you include the `--replace`
-flag.

 ## Goals of this unified hosts file
 
 The goals of this repo are to:
 
 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.

 devices under a variety of operating systems.

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.
 
-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  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
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]

 ## Goals of this unified hosts file
 
 The goals of this repo are to:
 
 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts

 It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
 devices under a variety of operating systems.

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

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.
 
-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  folder tree where you will find the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we maintain and provide for you.
+Data for extensions are stored in the

+maintain and provide for you.
 
 ## Generate your own unified hosts file
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```
+
+#### Command line options
 
 `--help`, or `-h`: display help.
 
 `--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
 
-* Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
-* No extensions are included by default.  Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag
-to include any you want.
-* Your active hosts file is *not* replaced unless you include the `--replace`
-flag.
+- Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.

+- Your active hosts file is _not_ replaced unless you include the `--replace`
+  flag.
 
 `--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate

-`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names
-of subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional

 ## Goals of this unified hosts file
 
 The goals of this repo are to:
 
 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.

 devices under a variety of operating systems.

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.

-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  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
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]

-|If you want to use a huge hosts file by merging [hphosts](https://www.hosts-file.net) (NOT INCLUDED HERE) you need to DISABLE and STOP `Dnscache` service before you replace hosts file in Windows Systems. You have been warned.|
-:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Before flushing the DNS cache, open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
-
-```
-sc config "Dnscache" start= disabled
-sc stop "Dnscache"
-```
-

 ## Release management
 
-This repository uses [Release-It!](https://webpro.github.io/release-it/), an excellent CLI release 
-tool for Github repos and npm packages, to automate creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases).
-This is why the [package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json) and 
-[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json) files are bundled.

 ## Goals of this unified hosts file
 
 The goals of this repo are to:
 
 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts

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

+- [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.

+  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

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.
 
-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  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
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]

 ## Goals of this unified hosts file
 
 The goals of this repo are to:
 
 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.

 devices under a variety of operating systems.

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]

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

+- [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,

+  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

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.
 
-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  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
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies
+at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip
+[documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+
+### Common steps regardless of your development environment
+
+To **run unit tests**, in the top-level directory, run:
+
+```sh
+python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+```
+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+```

-    # block doubleClick's servers
-    0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
-    0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
-    0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
-    0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
-    0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
-    # etc...
-
+```text
+# block doubleClick's servers
+0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
+0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
+# etc...
+```
 
 ## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
 
-Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.

+## 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;

+- 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 = {

+          networking.stevenBlackHosts.enable = true;
+        }
+      ];
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+The hosts extensions are also available with the following options:
+
+```nix
+{
+  networking.stevenBlackHosts = {
+    blockFakenews = true;
+    blockGambling = true;
+    blockPorn = true;
+    blockSocial = true;

 ## Goals of this unified hosts file
 
 The goals of this repo are to:
 
 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts

 It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
 devices under a variety of operating systems.

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

 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
 
-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+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`.
 
-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of 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
+file. The combined products are stored in the
+[`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates)
+folder.
 
-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  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
 
-To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+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.
 
-First install the dependencies with:
+### Option 1: Use our container image (Linux only)
 
-    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
+> This will replace your `/etc/hosts`.
 
-**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
+We assume you have Docker available on your host. Just run the following
+command. Set extensions to your preference.
 
-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+```sh
+docker run --pull always --rm -it -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts \
+ghcr.io/stevenblack/hosts:latest updateHostsFile.py --auto \
+--replace --extensions gambling porn
+```
 
-    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py
+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.
 
-The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the 
-local `data/` subfolder.  The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated versions 
-(from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it 
-will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
+```sh
+-v "path/to/myhosts:/hosts/myhosts" \
+-v "path/to/whitelist:/hosts/whitelist" \
+```
 
-### Usage
+You can rerun this exact command later to update based on the latest available
+hosts (for example, add it to a weekly cron job).
 
-#### Using Python 3:
+### Option 2: Generate your own container image
 
-    python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
+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.
 
-#### Command line options:
+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.
+
+First, install the dependencies with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt

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

+
+The `updateHostsFile.py` script will generate a unified hosts file based on the
+sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it
+should fetch updated versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text
+file in each source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's
+already there.
+
+```sh
+python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]

 ## Goals of this unified hosts file

 1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
-
-2. provide easy extensions,
-
+2. provide situation-appropriate extensions,
 3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
-
 4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
 
-A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated.  A
-hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
-additions and removals.  The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
-curation is expected.
-
-For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
-is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
-and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
+A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A hosts

 devices under a variety of operating systems.

+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression,
+level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal
+appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
+include:
+
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
+ advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
+ address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+ professional setting
+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
+behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
+reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
+that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
+permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported by contacting the project team at hosts@sbc.io. All
+complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
+is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
+obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
+Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
+faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
+members of the project's leadership.

+# Codebase Structure
+
+These are the folders and some key files used to generate and store various unified hosts files.
+
+## Data folders
+
+There are two facets of the hosts files generated by
+[/updateHostsFile.py](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/updateHostsFile.py):
+
+### Basic hosts
+
+Basic hosts are domains that purvey advertising, malware, tracking, coin
+mining and other abominable behavior. These hosts are included in all our products.
+
+The [/data](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/data) folder holds the
+metadata and latest hosts for all our basic hosts sources. The hosts are updated
+automatically by `/updateHostsFile.py` which iterates all the subfolders within `./data`.
+
+### Optional hosts extensions
+
+Hosts extensions include domains that push potentially addictive content like `porn`, `fake news`,
+`gambling`, and `social` media.
+
+The [/extensions](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder holds
+metadata and latest hosts for all our basic hosts sources. The hosts are updated
+automatically by `/updateHostsFile.py` which iterates all the subfolders within `./extensions`.
+
+## Product folders
+
+### Basic hosts
+
+The [basic hosts file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/hosts), containing
+just adware, malware, etc, is stored in the root folder of this repository.
+
+The [/hosts/alternates](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) this folder
+contains the products of `updateHostsFile.py`, one subfolder for each permutation of
+`fakenews`, `gambling`, `porn`, and `social` media hosts, all of which include the base extensions
+containing hosts that block adware, malware, tracking, etc.
+
+## Other notable files
+
++ [./readme_template.md](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/readme_template.md):
+This file is used to generate all the various readme files in this repository.  Therefore,
+if you wish to change the readme, you need to change only this file.
