Description

When building with docker ( https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/documentation.html#building-with-docker ) the output goes into the /build directory of the container. The documentation states that the output will be available in docs/_build/html but for that to be true you need to mount that local directory as /build to get the output available to your own system, or it will remain in the container and thus won't be accessible.
