Self Hosting Debian instructions have subtle omission/flaw and do not work as intended

The page: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz-docs/blob/master/docs/selfhosting.md

Has a flaw in the instructions. It is missing sudo in the last git clone step. Git clone fails, because /opt (and subdirectories) are only accessible to root/sudo.

Needs to be sudo git clone https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz.git /opt/netboot.xyz

Or clone in another directory with write access for your username, somewhere besides /opt.

Same goes for the last command, ansible-playbook -i inventory site.yml Also fails without sudo.

Thanks.
