jekyll-docker: Permission errors

Probably needs a chmod after generation since docker will make everything owned by root. I did a rm -rf on _site and tried this again to ensure this is an issue (similar to this: https://github.com/treeder/go/blob/master/go.sh#L45).

       Destination: /srv/jekyll/_site

jekyll 2.4.0 | Error:  Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /srv/jekyll/_site
Moving Gemfile.docker back to Gemfile
I hope you did not have a Gemfile actually called that.

When I run the following command locally it works like a charm

docker run --name="myjekyllsite" --label="jekyll" -i --rm -p 61616:80 -p 4000:4000 -v /home/data/myjekyllsite/src:/srv/jekyll jekyll/jekyll

however when I run it on a server it fails with the following error

Configuration file: /srv/jekyll/_config.yml
            Source: /srv/jekyll
       Destination: /srv/jekyll/_site
 Incremental build: disabled. Enable with --incremental

Any thoughts?

@envygeeks Does Jekyll have the capability to make _site?
