I am trying to get the latest version of neo4J to start

I keep getting:
neo4j_os_db | sed: couldn't open temporary file /var/lib/neo4j/conf/sed80lCnC: Permission denied
neo4j_os_db exited with code 4

It could be that you're using the wrong mount points for your volumes.
See:

for the correct mount points.

While there is no "correct" mount point for backups, I wouldn't recommend mounting anything under /var/lib/neo4j. The docker entrypoint script does a lot of re-owning operations on that folder and you're likely to have all kinds of permissions trouble with anything mounted to there.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I will take a look at that.
