A Neo4j container (docker) with initial data in it

Other database dockers that I've worked with (like Postgres) have a mechanism to import some initial data into their empty instance once the container starts for the first time. This is usually in form of putting your SQL files in a specific folder.

I need to do the same for Neo4j. I want to compose a Neo4j docker image with some data in it. What's the right way to do this?

docker neo4j
