What is the path to static files in django?

Question

Django

I'm building my django project into a docker container. But static files are not located on the prescribed path.
Before running the command python manage.py runserver, I execute the command python manage.py collectstatic
All static files are collected in the static folder at the root of the project. I checked that they really are there by logging into the docker container via bash.

Here is the settings.py code

# из этих папок собираются файлы в STATIC_ROOT 
STATICFILES_DIRS = ( 
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'firstapp', 'static'),
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'secondapp', 'static'),
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'thirdapp', 'static'),
)
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
# доступ к файлам по урл
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

html files have path to static files

{% load static %}

{% load leaflet_tags %}
{% leaflet_css %}
{% leaflet_js %}

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'leaflet-groupedlayers/leaflet.groupedlayercontrol.min.css' %}">
<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'leaflet-groupedlayers/leaflet.groupedlayercontrol.min.js' %}"></script>

Dockerfile:

RUN mkdir /code/static
COPY . /code/
WORKDIR /code
RUN python manage.py collectstatic --no-input --clear
CMD python /code/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080

The files are in the docker container

[email protected]:/code/static# ls
admin  css  django_tables2  gis  js  leaflet  leaflet-groupedlayers  leaflet-routing

And here is what is written in the console after the request

[15/Feb/2020 10:58:11] "GET /calc/ HTTP/1.1" 200 14586
[15/Feb/2020 10:58:11] "GET /static/leaflet/leaflet.js HTTP/1.1" 404 77
[15/Feb/2020 10:58:11] "GET /static/leaflet/leaflet.extras.js HTTP/1.1" 404 77
[15/Feb/2020 10:58:11] "GET /static/leaflet/leaflet.css HTTP/1.1" 404 77
[15/Feb/2020 10:58:12] "GET /static/leaflet/leaflet.extras.js HTTP/1.1" 404 77

Already tried many variations of paths to static files.
Tell me, pliz, where did I make a mistake and what path to point to static files?

runserver is only for development, normally it can only pull up admin statics, the simplest solution is to specify the path not in STATIC_ROOT, but in the list at STATICFILES_DIRS.
