Is there a possibility to create a build without starting server?

[xhujerr]

Intro

I use check-mkdocs in pre-commit. I want to actually generate the docs. So I use the the flag --generate-build.

Current behavior

1. Starting the server takes a bit long to have it hooked to every commit.
2. From some reason the server starts 3 times. (I don't know if there is some config option commanding how many times the server should start.)

Desired behavior

1. I can build the documentation without starting the server. For example --generate-build --no-server
2. I can configure the number of attempts to start the server.
