How to Run a Command on First Boot?

No, using AUTO_SETUP_AUTOMATED=1 will start whole process automatically without any user input.

Your case is special as you don’t know the IP withing your environment. Therefore, I recommend, to use the fully automatic install process first to get the system up and running. Having a screen attached should show the install process.

Another option you could think of is

          # DietPi-Autostart: 0=Console | 7=Console autologin | 1=Kodi | 2=Desktop autologin | 16=Desktop | 4=OpenTyrian | 5=DietPi-CloudShell | 6=Amiberry fast boot | 8=Amiberry standard boot | 9=DDX-Rebirth | 10=CAVA Spectrum | 11=Chromium kiosk | 14=Custom script (background) | 17=Custom script (foreground)
          # - This will be effective on 2nd boot, after first run update and installs have been done.
          # - Related software titles must be installed either on first run installs or via AUTO_SETUP_AUTOMATED=1 + AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID (see below).
          AUTO_SETUP_AUTOSTART_TARGET_INDEX=0

This will automatically perform a user login on next reboot (after setup finished) and will show a banner like this
