Neo4j-desktop local db with Docker compose

[paolo-tamagnini-tr]

Hi there, I read here that

If want to use Neo4j Desktop instead, you need to configure your NEO4J_URI=bolt://host.docker.internal to allow the Docker container to access the network running on your computer.

is this up to date?

the readme states instead:

If you are using Neo4j Desktop, you will not be able to use the docker-compose but will have to follow the separate deployment of backend and frontend section.

so which is it?

I tried the first one but i cannot get it to connect

neo4j desktop:

neo4j builder:

the root .env i edited before the docker command

Hi @paolo-tamagnini-tr have you mentioned the port on which neo4j was running in the NEO4j_URI or in frontend ? You have to mention bolt://host.docker.internal:PORTNUMBER

[paolo-tamagnini-tr]

thanks, that worked, not sure if i missed something in the docs or whether it was not mentioned

I have another issue now, i cannot select an azure model from the dropdown:

those are the env_var i am trying at the moment

# Optional Frontend
VITE_BACKEND_API_URL="http://localhost:8000"
VITE_BLOOM_URL="https://workspace-preview.neo4j.io/workspace/explore?connectURL={CONNECT_URL}&search=Show+me+a+graph&featureGenAISuggestions=true&featureGenAISuggestionsInternal=true"

LLM_MODEL_CONFIG_azure_ai_gpt_4o="gpt-xxxxx,xxxx,xxxxxx,xxxxx"
LLM_MODELS="azure_ai_gpt_35,azure_ai_gpt_4o"

can you spot anything that i am missing?

There is nothing wrong in the env We have changed the way of configuring the models you just need to put VITE_ENV="DEV" to try out all models please take the latest pull of main and refer to the readme for configuration

[paolo-tamagnini-tr]

the problem was not VITE_ENV but VITE_LLM_MODELS_PROD. works now, thanks

[kartikpersistent]

Glad That It worked we changed readme for better clarity
