Mounting multiple volumes on a docker container

Question

I know I can mount a directory in my host on my container using something like  docker run -t -i -v   on my host  on the container  ubuntu  bin bash   Is there a way to create more than one host-container pair  e g  a comma-separated list  or pass in an array

Docker now recommends migrating towards using --mount.

Multiple volume mounts are also explained in detail in the current Docker documentation.

From: https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/

$ docker run -d \
  -it \
  --name devtest \
  --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/target,target=/app \
  --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/target,target=/app2,readonly,bind-propagation=rslave \
  nginx:latest

Original older answer should still work; just trying to keep the answer aligned to current best known method.
