Unable to start with error "../loki-local-config.yaml: no such file or directory"

Hi,

I was following the Run locally using Docker instructions and hit by this first issue of file not found.

$ docker run --name loki --network=loki -p 3100:3100 --volume "$PWD/docs:/etc/loki" grafana/loki:master -config.file=/etc/loki/loki-local-config.yaml
level=error ts=2018-12-12T09:54:40.816954563Z caller=main.go:28 msg="error loading config" filename=/etc/loki/loki-local-config.yaml err="Error reading config file: open /etc/loki/loki-local-config.yaml: no such file or directory"

Observation

When I cd into locally cloned repo of loki, I am able to start.
I was under assumption that I can start from any place like $HOME.

Loki and promtail need config files - so you have to map them in somewhere. I will update the docs to be more clear on this point - thanks for reporting this!

@daniellee Please verify #69.

I've removed the raw docker instructions and tested that this works with compose. I also moved the config into the container. This should be fixed.
