  --volume="LOCATION_OF_YOUR_JEKYLL_BLOG:/srv/jekyll" \
  -it tocttou/jekyll:3.5 \

Replace LOCATION_OF_YOUR_JEKYLL_BLOG with the full path of your blog repository. Visit http://localhost:8000/ to access the blog.

Note: In case you have set a baseurl different than / in _config.yml, go to http://0.0.0.0:8000/BASEURL/ instead.
