the default
neo4j/neo4j
auth doesn't work
As far as I remember, this only doesn't work because Neo4j forces you to change the default password before you can connect. You can either change it in the Neo4j Browser as shown in my article "Getting Started with Cartography for AWS", or set new defaults as you're doing with the NEO4J_AUTH
environment variable.
You're right that these details should be added to the docs though - I do remember the original setup was rather tricky, which is why I wrote that article last year.
If the door is open to PRs, I could take a shot at updating them.
I don't speak for the guys at Lyft but I believe they're usually quite receptive to and grateful for PRs.
Thanks for filing - definitely happy to accept a PR to update the docs. I think older versions of Neo4j didn't behave this way.
Title: Minor improvements to the help message and getting started doc
Description:
The help message for cartography points to this link which is a 404 currently and should probably point to this link which doesn't have the driver.html at the end, but which exists. Also, the quickstart should document the need for cartography to have the neo4j user and password provided by default
To Reproduce: Following the steps to run cartography against a self-hosted neo4j docker image, the default
neo4j/neo4j
auth doesn't work, and requires a user and password to be provided. What worked for me was following the docker run instructions herethen running cartography like this:
otherwise startup fails.
Logs: n/a, I think?
