Thanks for your help!  
I used env parameters to create container, but now I want to try edit other configs without recreating container.  
I also have tried to mount the conf directory but this folder is empty.  
I used docker-compose to create container. Below is my docker-compose file:

```
version: '3'
services:
  local-env:
    image: neo4j:latest
    network_mode: "bridge"
    ports:
      - "7474:7474"
      - "7473:7473"
      - "7687:7687"
      - "2322:22"
    environment:
      - NEO4J_dbms_security_procedures_unrestricted=apoc.*,algo.*
      - NEO4J_apoc_import_file_enabled=true
      - NEO4J_dbms_shell_enabled=true
      - NEO4J_dbms_memory_pagecache_size=4G
      - NEO4J_dbms_memory_heap_max__size=8G
      - NEO4J_dbms_memory_heap_initial__size=8G
      - NEO4J_dbms_tx __log_rotation_retention__ policy=3G size
    volumes:
      - ./plugins:/plugins
      - ./data:/data
      - ./import:/import
      - ./conf:/conf

```

Thanks again for your help !
