Install plugins in dockerized neo4j

[hadirsa]

Hi community, I'm trying to install Neo4j Graph Algorithms plugin in a dockerized neo4j. I'm using Ubuntu and all install buttons are disabled in Neo4j Desktop.

I have downloaded the neo4j-graph-algorithms-3.5.14.0-standalone.jar and I have copped it in the plugins directory of neo4j container volume.

Questions:
1- How to install a plugin in dockerized neo4j?
2- How to make sure that the plugin has installed successfully in neo4j?
3- Why all buttons are disabled in Neo4j Desktop, in my Ubuntu, while even I'm online?

Can you post your yml file or your docker run commands?

You would need to add:

• NEO4J_dbms_security_procedures_unrestricted=apoc.,algo.
• NEO4J_dbms_security_procedures_whitelist=apoc.,algo.

Thanks @david.fauth .let me check and share the results.

very recent versions of the docker container automate downloading and configuring addon libraries. Currently you can use apoc, algo, and graphql. See https://twitter.com/EastlondonDev/status/1177671998325047296

Thanks, @stefan.armbruster, I have added the environment variable which was mentioned in the tweet, but for this docker-compose and now it's working well:

version: '3'

services:
  neo4j:
    image: neo4j:latest
    network_mode: "bridge"
    ports:
      - "7474:7474"
      - "7687:7687"
    environment:
      - NEO4J_dbms_security_procedures_unrestricted=apoc.*,algo.*
      - NEO4J_dbms_security_procedures_whitelist=apoc.*,algo.*
      - NEO4J_apoc_import_file_enabled=true
      - NEO4J_dbms_shell_enabled=true
      - NEO4JLABS_PLUGINS=["apoc", "graph-algorithms"]
    volumes:
      - ./volume/plugins:/plugins
      - ./volume/data:/data
      - ./volume/import:/import
