--mount: Separate fields , and contains as key-value pair, order is not important, easier to understand.

$ docker service create \
    --mount 'type=volume/bind/tempfs,src=<VOLUME-NAME>,dst=<CONTAINER-PATH>,volume-driver=local,volume-opt=type=nfs,volume-opt=device=<nfs-server>:<nfs-path>,"volume-opt=o=addr=<nfs-address>,vers=4,soft,timeo=180,bg,tcp,rw"'
    --name myservice \
    <IMAGE>

$ sudo docker run -d   --name devtest   --mount source=myvol2,target=/app   nginx:latest
