Idempotent command-line utility for managing your /etc/hosts file

历史

项目历史与用法

hostess is a Go command-line utility for idempotently managing hosts-file entries. Its niche is deliberately small: add, remove, list, format, enable, disable, dump, and apply entries in `/etc/hosts` or the Windows hosts file without hand-editing the file.

项目历史

Chris Bednarski's README frames the motivation plainly: developers edit hosts files for development, testing, debugging, and production DNS failures, and manual edits are annoying. The project turns that workflow into a repeatable CLI suitable for Makefiles and deployment scripts.

The changelog shows the package starting with v0.1.0 in 2015, then adding build reliability, fixed-format checks, Windows support, Go module support, and a significant CLI/API cleanup in 2020.

采用历史

hostess reached users through GitHub releases and package managers including Homebrew, Nix, and Arch. Its cross-platform behavior matters for adoption because the Unix hosts file and Windows hosts file have different paths and formatting expectations.

使用方式

Common usage is `hostess add name ip`, `hostess rm name`, `hostess ls`, `hostess off name`, `hostess on name`, `hostess fmt`, `hostess dump`, and `hostess apply`. The README notes that elevated privileges are required because hosts files are protected by the operating system.

Environment variables provide the small amount of configuration the tool needs: `HOSTESS_FMT` can override format detection and `HOSTESS_PATH` can override the hosts-file path.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

hostess is a tidy example of a package-manager-friendly utility: one small executable, obvious system integration, no daemon, and behavior that replaces a risky manual edit. The 2020 refactor is also package-relevant because it removed an external CLI dependency and modernized Go tooling.

时间线

2015: v0.1.0 initial release.
2016: v0.2.x vendors the CLI dependency for more reliable builds.
2018: v0.3.0 adds a fixed-format check and improves parsing failure behavior.
2020: v0.4.0 refactors the CLI/API, removes external dependency usage, and adds Go module support.
2020: v0.5.0 adds a Windows-specific hosts format.
2020: v0.5.2 fixes and clarifies duplicate/conflicting entry handling in format mode.

Related projects

The Unix `/etc/hosts` file and Windows `C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts` file are the managed targets.
