Neo4j Docker - Admin Import - Database not found

After I created a neo4j docker container and imported data using admin-import the database is not found.

@neo4j> :use dgraph
Unable to get a routing table for database 'dgraph' because this database does not exist

1) run the docker container

docker run \
--name=neo4j \
--publish=7474:7474 --publish=7687:7687 \
--volume=[...]/neo4j/data:/data \
--volume=[...]/neo4j/import:/var/lib/neo4j/import \
--env=NEO4J_AUTH=none \
neo4j

2) open bash in container

docker exec -it neo4j bash

3) create new database folder in data/databases

mkdir data/databases/dgraph

3) run admin-import

docker exec -it neo4j bash
>> cd import
>> neo4j-admin import \
--database=dgraph \
[...]

Import succesfull message and data/databases/dgraph contains database files (like data/databases/neo4j)

3) chown all files to neo4j user

chown -R neo4j:neo4j data

But still: I can't use the newly created database :( Surely I'm missing something but I cant figure out what.

Any help is much appreciated

It turned out that the standard database in neo4j.conf needs to be set to the name of the new created database. After that I restarted the container and it worked :)
