ERROR: No compatible "graph-data-science" plugin found for Neo4j 5.13.0.

[Podbrushkin]

This doc page provides this command:

docker run -it --rm \
  --publish=7474:7474 --publish=7687:7687 \
  --user="$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
  -e NEO4J_AUTH=none \
  --env NEO4J_PLUGINS='["graph-data-science"]' \
  neo4j:latest

Expected behavior

Mounted image with neo4j and graph-data-science plugin enabled.

Actual behavior

Mounted image with neo4j but with this output instead of graph-data-science plugin:

Fetching versions.json for Plugin 'graph-data-science' from https://graphdatascience.ninja/versions.json
ERROR: No compatible "graph-data-science" plugin found for Neo4j 5.13.0.
This can happen with the newest Neo4j versions when a compatible plugin has not yet been released.
You can either use an older version of Neo4j, or continue without graph-data-science.
Neo4j will continue to start, but "graph-data-science" will not be loaded.
Applying default values for plugin graph-data-science to neo4j.conf

List of supported Neo4j versions contains 5.13.0, obviously compatible plugin has already been released.

Changing Neo4j version to older one doesn't help.

This is very strange. I was able to reproduce the problem the first time I ran the code. Then after a few retries it just started working??

@Podbrushkin what's the output if you add -e NEO4J_DEBUG=yes to the run command?

[Podbrushkin]

Thank you for your attention, this is output if given arg is added to command:

Hi @jennyowen :) I have a similar problem using podman.

podman container run --restart no \
    -p 7474:7474 -p 7687:7687 \
    --env NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/mypassword \
    --log-level=debug \
    -v=./data:/data:Z -v=./logs:/logs:Z \
    --name neo4j \
    -d --userns=keep-id \
    --env NEO4J_PLUGINS='["graph-data-science"]' \
    neo4j:5.19.0-community-ubi9

The container is successfully created but no access to graph data science plugin.

$ podman logs neo4j

I see that my logs reference 5.19.0 community specifically while https://graphdatascience.ninja/versions.json reference only 5.19.0. Could that be the problem and if so is there a way to deal with that?

[jennyowen]

hi @burqen ! Again I haven't been able to reproduce the problem. It was raised recently that if the versions.json can't be downloaded by the container, then it throws the same error about plugin not having a compatible release. I made a bug fix here https://github.com/neo4j/docker-neo4j/pull/497 but it only got fixed in 5.21.

So it could be that, since the problem doesn't reproduce reliably?

[burqen]

Thanks @jennyowen :) I will look into if there are any access problems on the network where I am.

[burqen]

Hi again @jennyowen So, the server sits in a secure network without internet access. Is there a way to tell the container to pick up the .jar locally instead? If so I can upload the .jar manually to the server.

[jennyowen]

Hi @burqen of course! You just need to put all your plugins into a folder then mount it to /plugins on the container. There's documentation about it here: https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/docker/plugins/

[burqen]

Beautiful @jennyowen , works like a charm! 🙏
