Does NOT work on DigitalOcean Droplet with Ubuntu 22.04 without `export doNetConf=y` #164

Tried the script, through the Digital Ocean configuration and just running it. Neither worked, and gave no indication why.

When running the script directly, I could at least see that it finished with no errors and restarted itself. Then I just couldn't connect via ssh again.

This helpful issue pointed me in the right direction: https://github.com/elitak/nixos-infect/issues/153

Ultimately got things working by just calling export doNetConf=y before running the script.

Thank you! This works on Debian 12 as well

It's possible that this would also be fixed by adding export doNetConf in the script itself.

FWIW this can also be fixed with PROVIDER=digitalocean. Could PR a documentation update to make this more obvious.
