Specify a specific version of plugin to install

[brunocous]

According to the configuration documentation, the list of specifiable plugins can be found in https://github.com/neo4j/docker-neo4j/blob/master/neo4jlabs-plugins.json. Digging deeper, it defines a mapping from neo4j version to specific plugin version.

My questions are:

• Is there a reason why specific version of Neo4j should be pinned to a specific version of a plugin?
• What I would like to control which plugin version will be installed, what is the best way forward to do this cleanly without manual installation?

I have found the following piece of code in the values.yaml. Will try it now.

initContainers: []
  ## init containers to run before the Neo4j replica pod e.g. to install custom plugins
  ## They can also be used to restore from last available backup, to ensure that newly joining
  ## core members have less TX history to catch up on before joining the cluster.
  ## Note that this is specifically *not* needed for APOC, which is included by default.
