Django `collecstatic` returns `[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/code/static/admin/js/vendor/select2/i18n/pl.6031b4f16452.js.gz'`

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
