Background

I use https://github.com/MatthewVance/unbound-docker to run Unbound in Docker. Then I run this script as a cron job to refresh my local block list nightly from https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file.

update.sh

# clear old temp
rm a-records.conf
# backup active
cp unbound/a-records.conf a-records.conf_$(date "+%Y%m%d")
# use small original as baseline
cp a-records.conf.original a-records.conf
# run this program
cd rust-unbound-dns-block
git fetch --all
git pull origin main
cargo run --example naive >> a-records.conf
cd ..
rm unbound/a-records.conf
# move to active and restart docker
mv a-records.conf unbound/a-records.conf
ls -al unbound/a-records.conf #yep refreshed
./start.sh
