Moving on from Desktop to Docker

Neo4j Graph Platform Import / Export
1

I have developed most of my system against Desktop and would like to move to using Docker. So I've got Docker running and trying to follow the instructions:

  • did a dump from Desktop
  • created an image that had a local disk mounted

ran the load:

neo4j-admin database load MYDB --from-path=/data
Done: 70 files, 61.95MiB processed.

I can see the database has been created:

$ cd databases
$ ls -la
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 192 Feb 28 14:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 neo4j neo4j 224 Feb 28 14:41 ..
drwxr-xr-x 37 root root 1184 Feb 28 14:42 MYDB
drwxr-xr-x 37 root root 1184 Feb 28 14:41 neo4j
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 28 14:41 store_lock
drwxr-xr-x 37 root root 1184 Feb 28 14:41 system

but I can't connect to it:

What version of Neo4j? Community only supports 1 database
And after doing the load you would want to create database <databaseName>;

If you are replacing an existing database, you have to shut it down before running the command. If you are not replacing an existing database, you must create the database (using CREATE DATABASE against the system database) after the load operation finishes.

Oh :( yes - it is community.

Can I then delete the neo4j DB and replace it with mine?
