Neo4j Community Docker Image

A nice, clean image of Neo4j Community with appropriate documentation. This image of Neo4j also allows users to mount their Neo4j data directory via:

Try It Out

You can read my tutorial blog post or skip to the concise summary below.

Run (as a test)

• On the server that docker is installed: docker pull seenickcode/neo4j-community
• Then run your image! Warning, this will expose the Neo4j brower to the outside word, it's just a test: docker run -d --name neo4j --privileged -p 7474:7474 -p 1337:1337 -v /home/core:/var/lib/neo4j/data seenickcode/neo4j-community
• Then navigate over to <yourIP/hostname>:7474 to ensure your data browser works
• Create a node to test
• Ensure that the graph.db directory you mounted gets created (located in the directory you ran the docker run command from).

Run (in production)

Obviously in production you're going to want to not allow users to access :7474 (Neo4j browser) or access :1337 (Neo4j shell) so we can change the -p flag to ensure the ports are only exposed locally to the server.

docker run -d --name neo4j --privileged -p 127.0.0.1:7474:7474 -p 127.0.0.1:1337:1337 -v /home/core:/var/lib/neo4j/data seenickcode/neo4j-community
