So you can enjoy your [neo4j](https://neo4j.com/) database\nwhile it is accessible by default as *neo4j.local*. (Port 80)\n\n- [Requirements](#requirements)\n- [Getting starting](#getting-starting)\n- [docker-compose usage example](#docker-compose-usage-example)\n- [Host configs](#host-configs)\n- [Configure a different mDNS hostname](#configure-a-different-mdns-hostname)\n- [Other top level domains](#other-top-level-domains)\n- [Further reading](#further-reading)\n\n## Requirements\n\n* Host enabled Avahi daemon\n* Host enabled mDNS NSS lookup\n\n## Getting starting\n\nYou just need to run it like that, to get a working neo4j database:\n\n```bash\n$ docker run --rm hausgold/neo4j\n```\n\nThe port 7474 is proxied by haproxy to port 80 to make *neo4j.local*\ndirectly accessible. The port 7474 is untouched.\n\n## docker-compose usage example\n\n```yaml\nservices:\n  neo4j:\n    image: hausgold/neo4j\n    environment:\n      # Mind the .local suffix\n      MDNS_HOSTNAME: neo4j.test.local\n      # We allow to start an SSH server inside the container to enable the\n      # programmatically access to neo4j tooling. This is disabled by default.\n      SSHD_ENABLE: 'false'\n      SSHD_ROOT_PASSWORD: root\n      SSHD_CUSTOM_CONIFG: 'false'\n```\n\n## Host configs\n\nInstall the nss-mdns package, enable and start the avahi-daemon.service. Then,\nedit the file /etc/nsswitch.conf and change the hosts line like this:\n\n```bash\nhosts: ... mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns ...\n```\n\n## Configure a different mDNS hostname\n\nThe magic environment variable is *MDNS_HOSTNAME*. Just pass it like that to\nyour docker run command:\n\n```bash\n$ docker run --rm -e MDNS_HOSTNAME=something.else.local hausgold/neo4j\n```\n\nThis will result in *something.else.local*.\n\nYou can also configure multiple aliases (CNAME's) for your container by\npassing the *MDNS_CNAMES* environment variable. It will register all the comma\nseparated domains as aliases for the container, next to the regular mDNS\nhostname.\n\n```bash\n$ docker run --rm \\\n  -e MDNS_HOSTNAME=something.else.local \\\n  -e MDNS_CNAMES=nothing.else.local,special.local \\\n  hausgold/neo4j\n```\n\nThis will result in *something.else.local*, *nothing.else.local* and\n*special.local*.\n\n## Other top level domains\n\nBy default *.local* is the default mDNS top level domain. This images does not\nforce you to use it. But if you do not use the default *.local* top level\ndomain, you need to [configure your host avahi][custom_mdns] to accept it.\n\n## Further reading\n\n* Docker/mDNS demo: https://github.com/Jack12816/docker-mdns\n* Archlinux howto: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/avahi\n* Ubuntu/Debian howto: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Avahi/\n\n[custom_mdns]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/avahi#Configuring_mDNS_for_custom_TLD\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhausgold%2Fdocker-neo4j","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhausgold%2Fdocker-neo4j","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhausgold%2Fdocker-neo4j/lists"}
