Network not properly configured on digital ocean.

I started a new Digital Ocean VPS with Ubuntu 15.10 and ran ./install From the latest git (c85487e) and when the droplet rebooted it had no network connection. (Pinging IPs didn't work).

To fix it I had to add the correct IP address to enp0s3, remove the incorrect one (169.254.115.80) and set the default gateway.

The files in /old-root/etc/network provided the correct information.

I believe all you needed to do was run the /etc/nixos-in-place/setup-network script and it'd do this for you. It's set to be a systemd target, but there are a few scenarios where it doesn't run and it's meant to; that's a separate issue. Are you able to verify with me that the setup-network script would do what you need?

If you can, then we can close this and just deal with the fact that it doesn't always run when it should.

I don't know if I am doing something wrong but I don't have a /etc/nixos-in-place directory on the new system. I tried running the setup-network script from the repo but it fails because it looks in /etc/network which doesn't exist on the nixos system.

Oh, it's my fault. I didn't understand that I needed to specify the -d flag. I find that sentence a little confusing, maybe it could be reworded.
