The Neo4J-Export-Tool is a bash script directly implemented into the Neo4J original image and runs as a script inside the container executed by CRON.
I made this implementation because there is no proper runtime backup support in the community edition.
Exported Cypher scripts are found in the /import folder.
THIS WILL NOT REPLACE THE ENTERPRISE BACKUP TOOL. PLEASE BUY THE ENTERPRISE EDITION FOR PROPER SUPPORT!
-
Clone repository
-
Replace "00 12,22 * * *" in backupCron with desired CRON expression
-
Do as written in following files (read comments in files):
- Dockerfile
- backup.sh (Timezone)
- deploy.sh
- Feel free to change everything else
-
Execute docker build inside docker folder
# Example docker build
# Image name (neo4j-export) must be replaced in deploy.sh if not built like this
docker build -t neo4j-export .- Execute deploy.sh script in resources/scripts
- Access interface with localhost:7474
- Enjoy
- Execute the following command to access inside of container:
# Replace [CONTAINER_ID] with container id (docker container ls)
docker exec -it [CONTAINER_ID] /bin/bash- Check memory setting in docker daemon and deploy.sh if container is hung up in a restart loop
- Move all params/varables to central file
- Write the same utility with admin-tool support
DO NOT USE THIS UTILITY IF YOU HAVE 1M+ NODES AND DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DO!
THE SCRIPTS USE A FAIR SHARE OF RESSOURCES!
