Multiple Neo4j databases from single instance


As documented in many places, older versions didnt allow to have multiple databases in single instance. As in have separate /db/data location per database.

Based on this comment,

Neo4j 2.2 will be a first step in that direction.

I currently have Neo4j 2.3.3. Does the newer versions support this feature yet?


Solution

  • Not yet. Best way to manage multiple databases side by side on the same machine is using containers such as Docker - you can pick up the latest GA version of Neo4j on DockerHub. If you look at the latest 3.0 milestone (beta), you'll see a number of improvements, including changes to directory structure & config, to make this easier.
