Describe the bug
Cannot deploy self-hosted netboot via ansible script

To Reproduce
I just followed the steps on fresh and clear Proxmox container based on Ubuntu 16.04

Expected behavior
Correct installation via ansible script

Additional context
Error log during installation:

root@pxe-server:/opt/netboot.xyz# ansible-playbook -i inventory site.yml
[DEPRECATION WARNING]: Specifying include variables at the top-level of the task is deprecated. Please see:
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_roles.html

for currently supported syntax regarding included files and variables. This feature will be removed in a future release.
Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.

The current Ansible code is tested on Ansible 2.9.6 on Ubuntu 20.04. You may try building on that or utilize the container build to generate the code and dump it from the proper environment.
