NOTE: Supported images are available in the official image library on Docker Hub. Please use those for production use.

Using the Neo4j Docker Image

Documentation for the Neo4j image can be found here.

You can start a Neo4j container like this:

docker run \
    --publish=7474:7474 --publish=7687:7687 \
    --volume=$HOME/neo4j/data:/data \
    --volume=$HOME/neo4j/logs:/logs \
    neo4j:latest

To start a Neo4j Enterprise Edition container, you can run:

docker run \
    --publish=7474:7474 --publish=7687:7687 \
    --env=NEO4J_ACCEPT_LICENSE_AGREEMENT=yes \
    --volume=$HOME/neo4j/data:/data \
    --volume=$HOME/neo4j/logs:/logs \
    neo4j:enterprise

Mounting the /data and /logs folder is optional, but it means that data can persist between closing and reopening Neo4j containers.

Neo4j images for ARM64

We provide unsupported and untested builds of ARM64 Neo4j community edition from 4.0.0 and onwards. These are unsuitable for production use, but may be useful for experimentation or hobbyists.

They are available on Docker hub at:

https://hub.docker.com/r/neo4j/neo4j-arm64-experimental

The images take the name format neo4j/neo4j-arm64-experimental:<VERSION>-arm64. Example usage:

docker run \
    --publish=7474:7474 --publish=7687:7687 \
    --volume=$HOME/neo4j/data:/data \
    --volume=$HOME/neo4j/logs:/logs \
    neo4j/neo4j-arm64-experimental:4.1.0-arm64
