On every boot/reboot of an Ubuntu Linux (21.10 at the moment) droplet, DigitalOcean restores this file:
/etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/DigitalOcean.conf
I can comment-out the lines inside and they will be uncommented on reboot. I can delete the file and it will re-appear on reboot. The file causes problems (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/20119) and there must be some way to disable it.
Aside from writing my own script that auto-deletes the file on boot, how can I disable that file from every appearing in the first place?
