'Getting started' fails with permission denied

From the 'Getting started' section of the readme:

bin/bot

This results in:

Are you on macOS? It looks like Docker for Mac does some magic to make volume mounts readable by non-root users within containers:

https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/osxfs/#ownership

Initially, any containerized process that requests ownership metadata of an object is told that its uid and gid own the object.

If you're on Linux, that would explain it - I doubt Docker does this on its own.

I've done a little investigation into running entrypoint.sh as root and dropping privileges when spawning the Hubot process and ugh. My temptation to just run the damn thing as root is rising.
