Neo4j 4.1 in Docker

Getting Neo4j 4.1.0 to work in Docker has been a real struggle! The docker-compose file was:

version: "3"

services:
  neo4j:
    image: neo4j
    container_name: neo4j
    ports:
      - 7474:7474
      - 7687:7687
    environment:
      - "NEO4J_AUTH=none"

Note that authentication has been turned off, so just login with a blank username and password.

The browser kept returning:


WebSocket connection failure. Due to security constraints in your web browser, the reason for the failure is not available to this Neo4j Driver. Please use your browsers development console to determine the root cause of the failure. Common reasons include the database being unavailable, using the wrong connection URL or temporary network problems. If you have enabled encryption, ensure your browser is configured to trust the certificate Neo4j is configured to use. WebSocket `readyState` is: 3

To solve this, when you login change neo4j:// to bolt://

Python libraries on an air-gapped machine

The Problem Development and test clusters may be air-gapped so that client data or sensitive software under development is less likely to be leaked. This can cause problems when trying to install libraries, e.g. for Python-based software, especially if the cluster has an old version of a Linux OS installed. The Solution Setup Python's pip on the remote machine On an Internet-enabled machine, download the Wheel file for pip from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip , such as pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl. Copy the Wheel file (e.g. pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl) to the remote machine, e.g. using scp: scp pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl user@host:/path On the remote machine: python pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl/pip install --no-index pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl pip --version # this should display the version number if correctly installed Download the required libraries On an Internet-enabled machine, download the library and its dependencies using the fol

Getting started with Kafka and Kafka Tool

This provides a quick introduction to setting up a local Kafka instance and using Kafka Tool to view the messages. The initial part of the Kafka tutorial is adapted slightly from http://kafka.apache.org/quickstart.html . The following are steps for: Downloading and unpacking Apache Kafka in Linux Starting the Zookeeper and Kafka servers Creating a new topic Adding and viewing messages using the command line tools Use Kafka Tool to view the messages in a topic Step 1: Download Kafka cd ./Downloads/ wget http://mirror.catn.com/pub/apache/kafka/0.10.0.0/kafka_2.11-0.10.0.0.tgz tar -zxf kafka_2.11-0.10.0.0.tgz cd kafka_2.11-0.10.0.0 Step 2: Start the Zookeeper and Kafka servers Check the Kafka port in zookeeper.properties by looking at clientPort (typically 2181) in config/zookeeper.properties Start Zookeeper with: bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties and then start Kafka: bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties Step 3:

Python on a Windows Mobile PDA

I've been doing development work in Python and as an experiment I thought I'd have a go at getting Python installed on my Windows Mobile PDA . It's an HP iPaq running Windows Mobile 6 (CE OS 5.2.1.1616). The Python CE Wiki is located at: http://pythonce.sourceforge.net/Wikka/HomePage I installed PythonCE-2.5-20061219-setup.exe from sourceforget.net and amazingly it worked first time! After clicking Start -> Programs -> Python I was able to verify that it worked by typing >>> print 'Hello World' Hello World Using Ilium Software Screen Capture software I was able to get a screen shot very easily. It can be downloaded from http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/pocket-pc/download-ilium-software-screen-capture-free-1-1.html
