Some times you may need to create multiple mounts to a new Docker container. This can be done by using "--mount" options as shown in this tutorial.

1. Run a new Docker container with 2 bind mounts:

fyicenter# docker run \
  --mount type=bind,source=/tmp,destination=/tmp \
  --mount type=bind,source=/mnt,destination=/mnt \
  -tid --name fyi_test alpine

fyicenter# docker exec -it fyi_test /bin/sh

/ # df -h
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
overlay               52403200  23384140  29019060  45% /
tmpfs                    65536         0     65536   0% /dev
tmpfs                  3872692         0   3872692   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
shm                      65536         0     65536   0% /dev/shm

/dev/mapper/cl-root   52403200  23384140  29019060  45% /tmp
/dev/mapper/cl-root   52403200  23384140  29019060  45% /mnt

/dev/mapper/cl-root   52403200  23384140  29019060  45% /etc/resolv.conf
/dev/mapper/cl-root   52403200  23384140  29019060  45% /etc/hostname
/dev/mapper/cl-root   52403200  23384140  29019060  45% /etc/hosts
...

2. Stop and remove the Docker container.

/ # exit

fyicenter# docker container stop fyi_test
  fyi_test

fyicenter# docker container rm fyi_test
  fyi_test
