Summary

The Neo4j team has released a semi-official beta Docker image for their graph database, which can be used to run Neo4j in a containerized environment. The image is based on the Ubuntu and Java 8 images and includes the latest stable version of Neo4j. It can be built from scratch using the provided Dockerfile or pulled directly from Docker Hub. The image exposes ports for HTTP, HTTPS, and shell connections, and allows users to mount their own data directory. Authentication is required for Neo4j 2.2.x versions, and users can disable authentication by setting an environment variable. The image is intended as a community resource and may not come with official support or guarantees.
