31038	Prevent collectstatic from trying to access a database.	Stefan Völkl	nobody	"I have a Dockerfile with a multi-stage build in which I'm trying to run `collectstatic` to get all the static files and copy them into the final docker image.
At this moment I don't have a database to access, but as `collectstatic` is trying to access one with dummy values, I get an error.

In my opinion there should be no need for `collectstatic` to access a database. I have read through other Issues concerning this, so I think you are not planning on changing this. That's why I need to know if there is any way to prevent this access to a database.

Here's what I have:
{{{
ARG baseImage
FROM ${baseImage} AS base

USER root

ENV DB_HOST=""example"" \
    DB_NAME=""example"" \
    DB_USER=""example"" \
    DB_PASSWORD=""example""

RUN python app/manage.py collectstatic --skip-checks --noinput --clear \
    && node_modules/.bin/gulp compile --destination ""/tmp/staticcmp""
