I run my django app in Docker. I recently tried running collecstatic and instead was given this error code. Not sure what it means or what to do:
>docker-compose exec web python manage.py collectstatic
Traceback (most recent call last):

I read somewhere that it may have to do with root privileges but I’m not sure which root privileges or how to go about remedying it.
i had the same issue
try:
chmod -R 755 /code/static
if did not, work try running as a different user
also you can temporarily disable compression in Whitenoise by setting WHITENOISE_USE_FINDERS to False in your settings:
WHITENOISE_USE_FINDERS = False
