JNI error using the Neo4j docker

[J_J_Dekker]

Hi there,

I am using the neo4j 3.5 docker with apoc but there seems to be an error executing it with the docker command. When I use

docker exec -it neo4j-35-tmp cat /data/cy.cypher | cypher-shell -u neo4j -p Neo4ja

it will throw an error Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again.

The wierd thing is when I use:

docker exec -it neo4j-35-tmp bash

then use:

cat /data/cy.cypher | cypher-shell -u neo4j -p Neo4ja

It will work. Just from outside of the container it won't work for some reason. Anyone knows whats wrong here?

docker code:

docker run --detach --name=neo4j-35-tmp --rm
--publish=7475:7474 --publish=7476:7473 --publish=7688:7687
--volume=$HOME/Documents/neo4j-multi-image/3.5/data:/data
--volume=$HOME/Documents/neo4j-multi-image/3.5/import:/import
--volume=$HOME/Documents/neo4j-multi-image/3.5/conf:/conf
--volume=$HOME/Documents/neo4j-multi-image/3.5/plugins:/plugins
--env NEO4J_dbms.memory.heap.initial_size=12G
-e NEO4J_apoc_export_file_enabled=true
-e NEO4J_apoc_import_file_enabled=true
-e NEO4J_apoc_import_file_use__neo4j__config=true
-e NEO4JLABS_PLUGINS=["apoc"]
--env NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/Neo4ja
neo4j:3.5.26

Kind regards,
Julian

Solved by putting the exec inside of a script instead of straight calling it.

I now have:

docker exec -it neo4j-35-tmp sh /data/mkdb.sh

where mkdb.sh contains:

cat /data/cy.cypher | cypher-shell -u neo4j -p Neo4ja
