Build image locally and then move to GCP cloud.

[Rajeev]

I am new to Neo4j. I want to first install and test latest neo4j version on my local MacBook ( Docker environment ) and I once successfully create my own graph DB and establish different relationship type including dummy data, I want to move the image to Google GKE.

Appreciate , if anyone can help me with a step by step process.

Hi @Rajeev ,

Welcome to the community. It's pretty straightforward to do this. In high-level steps:

1. When you are ready to move to GKE, back up your local database: https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/backup-restore/online-backup/
2. Install neo4j on GKE. The best way to do this is via the helm chart we provide: https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/kubernetes/helm-charts-setup/
3. Finally, restore the backup you made: https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/kubernetes/maintenance/#kubernetes-neo4j-restore

Let us know how it goes!
