I have a pre-configured server based on Debian with some services. I, now, need to deploy it in different networks.

Is there any solution to run a one time script after reboot which asks some questions about network configuration and to make this change?

You can put your script in an executable file, which, when run, as the last thing, makes itself non-executable. You may call it from /etc/rc.local, checking, before running it, whether the file is executable. If it is, fine, just run it, otherwise don't.

In your /etc/rc.local, include a statement like 

 if [ -x /home/myname/bin/myscript.sh ]; then /home/myname/bin/myscript.sh; fi

Then put your commands in the file /home/myname/bin/myscript.sh, allowing it to begin as:

  #!/bin/sh

  START_DIR=$PWD
  SCRIPT_NAME=$0
  ......

and put, as the last line to be executed:

  chmod 644 $START_DIR/$SCRIPT_NAME

Make the file executable (chmod 755 myscript.sh).
