HI
I pulled neo4j:latest image. and create and start a container with this command successfully:


> docker create \
> --name myneo4j \
> -p7688:7688  \
> -v $HOME/neo4j/data:/data \
> -v $HOME/neo4j/logs:/logs \
> -v $HOME/neo4j/plugins:/plugins \
> -v $HOME/neo4j/import:/var/lib/neo4j/import  \
> --env NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/test \
>  neo4j:latest

> docker start myneo4j
myneo4j

> docker exec -it myneo4j bash neo4j start

If you get that error message, it usually means that two processes are trying to start a database using the same data directory.

I think that might have happened because you ran two docker start commands after each other.

If you change the command to read like this it'll work:

$  docker run \
>  --name myneo4j \
>  -p7688:7688  \
>  -v $HOME/neo4j/data:/data \
>  -v $HOME/neo4j/plugins:/plugins \

Hi,

I have a similar problem, but I only have the basic database (neo4j).
The container is starting fine, but the database locked.

What is wrong?

dominicvivek06 · December 12, 2020, 11:20pm

seems that neo4j is already running.
login to the docker with bash and check for neo4j process.
How did you start the docker ?

share your Dockerfile or docker-compose file .

Dear Kumar,

I use an Synology DS718+ NAS storage.

I'm running the latest docker on this unit (via GUI).

The start command is "/sbin/tini -g -- /docker-entrypoint.sh neo4j"

root@neo4j:/var/lib/neo4j# ls -l

total 216

-rwxrwxrwx 1 neo4j neo4j 36005 Sep 29 18:56 LICENSE.txt

I use own certificate, what the browser see, so it's OK.

In the Chrome I see:

neo4j-driver.chunkhash.bundle.js:1 WebSocket connection to 'wss://ds817.synology.me:7687/' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

r @ neo4j-driver.chunkhash.bundle.js:1

As shown above, a "lock" file is created and while it is there it cannot start the database.

I have seen pages related to this problem but I don't know the solution.

I want to try the database in a smaller environment, but unfortunately it doesn't start due to some error.

If you have any idea what the problem might be please help me.

I look forward to your reply,

Tamas
