do I need to add ENV DNSMASQ_USER=root to the docker file? And if so, where does it live?

You're likely to get much faster and better answers via TrueCharts' support channels, mainly their Discord--they don't really hang out here.

But it is the TrueNAS container, not the TrueCharts one ....

That's not what you said in your OP:

I have installed pihole from truecharts

 

[graylion]

Solution - just use the Truecharts one. That works.
