Sorry the Docker image had some issues and we're currently waiting for the Docker folks to put the 4.0 image back.

Brilliant news Michael, have been eagerly waiting for 4, finally I can play with the multi-database support 🙂

Thanks!

Actually you can use the docker image, even if it's not listed on docker hub:

docker pull neo4j:4.0

docker pull neo4j:4.0-enterprise

see the manual:

Could it be that the Desktop version has issues as well?

Did a download and install of v1.2.4 over my existing 1.2.3 and have various issues getting the upgrades to work from 3.5.x to the new 4.0

Issues include that "open browser" always gives an empty view while a browser connected to localhost:7474 shows data.

Other issues are related to authentication / password.

Just to make sure it is not related to my existing migrated data I just created a new Project (Desktop 1.2.4 on Mac) and added a single graph. Hit start and open browser.

:dbs gives "No multi db support detected"

Seems connection related as trying to create a node results in:

Connection to the same db via http://localhost:7474/ works as expected
