I've only got bad news for you. DigitalOcean does not support DHCP.
Traditionally, they modified the root partition before booting, adding
in the network configuration. On CoreOS, we have a tool,
coreos-metadata [1], that reads from their metadata service and creates
networkd configuration files. This quasi-DHCP is the reason you don't
have IP addresses or routes inside of your container.

You'll need to use host networking if you want this to work on
DigitalOcean. Take a look at `toolbox`. We use `--share-system` and the
network devices are passed straight through.

It would also be helpful if you could remind DigitalOcean that their
lack of DHCP is an actual problem affecting users. I've been telling
them for years, but the more people they hear it from, the better.
