Uploading local database to free aura instance using neo4j-admin database upload

Hi all,

I have been attempting for several days now to get my local database up to Neo4j Aura. As a student I don't have access for a larger graph database subscription, so I am relying on aura support to access my database through a website. Currently my graph database is version 5.19 running on Neo4j Desktop. I created a dump file and went into the graph database terminal on the desktop application to run neo4j-admin database upload command.

The command runs well however it has a hang up error, I know this cannot be a size constraint as my database is 0.6GB in size with 60k nodes and 250k relationships, however it is running apoc and gds libraries, I am not sure if these are translated to the dump file.

Regardless, here is the full error message. Consulting the logs, I was not able to find something helpful, however some more experienced users can help with this. This is the error I have in the terminal:

I am unsure as to why this error keeps persisting. I have attempted multiple times, and clearly it is able to communicate with my aura instance. The dump file is not corrupted, I have tried to delete and recreate the dump file as well, the error persists.

Any help would be appreciated as it would be ideal to use aura, but if there is a way to host this on GCP directly, let me know if there is a guide to follow.

Thanks in advance.
