About

The Neo4J-Export-Tool is a bash script directly implemented into the Neo4J original image and runs as a script inside the container executed by CRON.

I made this implementation because there is no proper runtime backup support in the community edition.

Exported Cypher scripts are found in the /import folder.

THIS WILL NOT REPLACE THE ENTERPRISE BACKUP TOOL. PLEASE BUY THE ENTERPRISE EDITION FOR PROPER SUPPORT!

Installation

  1. Clone repository

  2. Replace "00 12,22 * * *" in backupCron with desired CRON expression

  3. Do as written in following files (read comments in files):

    • Dockerfile
    • backup.sh (Timezone)
    • deploy.sh
    • Feel free to change everything else
  4. Execute docker build inside docker folder

# Example docker build
# Image name (neo4j-export) must be replaced in deploy.sh if not built like this
docker build -t neo4j-export .
  1. Execute deploy.sh script in resources/scripts
  2. Access interface with localhost:7474
  3. Enjoy

Misc

  • Execute the following command to access inside of container:
# Replace [CONTAINER_ID] with container id (docker container ls)
docker exec -it [CONTAINER_ID] /bin/bash
  • Check memory setting in docker daemon and deploy.sh if container is hung up in a restart loop

TODO

  • Move all params/varables to central file
  • Write the same utility with admin-tool support

Disclaimer

DO NOT USE THIS UTILITY IF YOU HAVE 1M+ NODES AND DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DO!
THE SCRIPTS USE A FAIR SHARE OF RESSOURCES!

THIS WILL NOT REPLACE THE ENTERPRISE BACKUP TOOL. PLEASE BUY THE ENTERPRISE EDITION FOR PROPER SUPPORT!
