Mapping an existing local neo4j database to a neo4j docker container

EDIT: I'm running on OSX.

So I am having troubles mapping an existing local database to my newly created docker container and am struggling to find the answer via google.

Here is my docker-compose.yml:

version: '2'
services:
  neo4j:
    image: neo4j
    ports:
     - "7474:7474"
    volumes:
      - /Users/**/Documents/Neo4j/**.graphdb:/data
    environment:
       NEO4J_AUTH: neo4j/**

I have double checked 

volumes:
      - /Users/**/Documents/Neo4j/**.graphdb:/data

is pointing at the correct directory (stars are hiding personal details). Using this same URL in the neo4j desktop app works fine.

Any help would be great,

Thanks in advance.

In case anyone else runs into this problem, I contacted the creators of the neo4j container. Here is the thread that led to a solution: Git hub.

My issue was miss understanding how the data volume maps to my local neo4j database.
