Restoring an offline Neo4J dump to a kubernetes cluster is tricky because your Neo4J always keeps Neo4J running. A possible solution to this problem would be to create a separate Neo4J pod which does not start the database. You could kubectl exec -it into that pod and upload your local Neo4J dump to restore it. Afterwards you delete the pod and restart your Neo4J service.
