On some systems -- my Ubuntu 18.04 install, for instance, using -v to setup the docker mountpoints was throwing permission errors. I couldn't then find the output from the container.

Using the --bind method, which is the approved way to do this now in docker, gets around this problem.

This pull request updates the README.md file to use --bind instead of -v.

…etter and approved option now as -v will yield permission errors on some systems.

Hi, thanks for the pull request!
I'm not confident with Docker so please correct me if I'm wrong: according to the documentation it seems that the bind option makes Docker expect an already existing path. If that's correct shouldn't we document this in the README too?

OK, so I think this was implicit already in the current documentation but I've rewritten this part of the Docker instructions to make it explicit and to explain what the bind options are actually doing!
