Proposed Changes

The existing documentation lists nested /opt/netbox/netbox/ paths when it should read /opt/netbox/netbox/netbox/ in several places. For example:

sudo adduser --system --group netbox
sudo chown --recursive netbox /opt/netbox/netbox/media/
sudo chown --recursive netbox /opt/netbox/netbox/reports/
sudo chown --recursive netbox /opt/netbox/netbox/scripts/

should actually be:

sudo adduser --system --group netbox
sudo chown --recursive netbox /opt/netbox/netbox/netbox/media/
sudo chown --recursive netbox /opt/netbox/netbox/netbox/reports/
sudo chown --recursive netbox /opt/netbox/netbox/netbox/scripts/

@stavr666 commented on GitHub (Dec 26, 2023):

This (with version variable) code worked for me at least for 20 upgrades, since 3.0 to 3.6.6:

cp -pr /opt/netbox-3.6.4/netbox/media/ /opt/netbox/netbox/
cp -r /opt/netbox-3.6.4/netbox/scripts /opt/netbox/netbox/
cp -r /opt/netbox-3.6.4/netbox/reports /opt/netbox/netbox/

So, docs seems ok there.
