First, thank you for dnsmasq!
I'm among a number of people[1][2][3][4] having trouble using dnsmasq for
DHCP when it is running in a docker container. Everyone seems to get "no
address range available for DHCP request via eth0" in their log unless they
change to host networking mode.
The code path for that error message is at [5]. I'm having a little trouble
understanding the 'contexts', but I think the problem is that the container
is running in bridged networking mode, and thus the interface has an IP
address outside the netmask range.
Is there a way to make this work without using host networking? Maybe
adding the external IP to the container interface? Thank you for any
suggestions!
Relevant sample configuration:

addn-hosts=/etc/pihole/black.list
addn-hosts=/etc/pihole/local.list

To reproduce, you can run something like what is in [6], then enabling the
DHCP server through the non-ssl web interface. `docker exec -it pihole
/bin/bash` to get into the container and `tail -f /var/log/pihole.log` for
the log.
