Permission error when running manage.py from virtual env

[vapecastle]

Pretty sure I have set this up wrong, but can't see what the issue is. I'm new to virtual environments also.

Ownership for /opt/netbox-3.7.4/netbox/static/ is root:root

azureuser@Netbox-NBL:/opt/netbox/netbox$ source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate
(venv) azureuser@Netbox-NBL:/opt/netbox/netbox$ python3 manage.py collectstatic

You have requested to collect static files at the destination
location as specified in your settings:

/opt/netbox-3.7.4/netbox/static

This will overwrite existing files!
Are you sure you want to do this?

Type 'yes' to continue, or 'no' to cancel: yes

sudo /opt/netbox/venv/bin/python /opt/netbox/netbox/manage.py collectstatic

(no need to separately activate the venv with this syntax)

Cheers, that has worked.
