A volume is bound to `/data` to allow the database to be persisted outside the container. By default, this requires you to login with `neo4j/neo4j` and change the password. You can, for development purposes, disable authentication by passing `--env=NEO4J_AUTH=none` to docker run. +## Note on version 2.3 + +Neo4j 3.0 introduced several major user-facing changes, primarily the new binary Bolt protocol. This is not available in 2.3 and as such, there is no need to expose the `7687` port. Due to changes made to the structure of configuration files, several environment variables used to configure the image has changed as well.
