Run (as a test)

• On the server that docker is installed: docker pull geoffpurdy/neo4j-community
• Then run your image!
  Obviously in production you're going to want to not allow users to access :7474 (Neo4j browser) or access :1337 (Neo4j shell) so we can change the -p flag to ensure the ports are only exposed locally to the server. docker run -d --name neo4j --privileged -p 127.0.0.1:7474:7474 -p 127.0.0.1:1337:1337 -v /home/core:/var/lib/neo4j/data geoffpurdy/neo4j-community
• Then navigate over to <yourIP/hostname>:7474 to ensure your data browser works
• Create a node to test
• Ensure that the graph.db directory you mounted gets created (located in the directory you ran the docker run command from).
