On Linux platform:
Installing Docker on Oracle Linux 8/7
Before we begin, run the system update command to rebuild the repo cache and update installed packages.
sudo yum update
Now Install some of the default packages
sudo yum install -y yum-utils
Add Docker repository to Oracle Linux
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
Add this below entry to the /etc/yum.repos.d/docker-ce.repo file
[centos-extras]
name=Centos extras - $basearch
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://centos.org/keys/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
Now run the below command to install the extra plugin required by the docker
yum -y install slirp4netns fuse-overlayfs container-selinux
Lastly, to install Docker Engine, command line and contained (a standalone high-level container runtime) run, finally, this command.
sudo yum install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Enable and start the Docker service
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Add User to Docker group
By default, docker needs the root access to run commands, Therefore, we will add our current or the user that you want to use to access docker to the docker group.
sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker your_user
Now, we have finally Installed Docker in Oracle Linux. Our Next step is to PULL the Neo4j Image.
docker pull neo4j
After, Image is downloaded in the docker, we are ready to run it.
To verify it, we can use web browser to and open url
localhost:7474
Cypher Shell
If you want to run cypher shell, Run the below command
docker exec -it testneo4j bash
cypher-shell -u neo4j -p test
