When installing the Community edition, no LoadBalancer service is created (Enterprise is required for this feature). To access the Neo4j Browser with the Community edition, forward port 7474:

kubectl port-forward svc/my-neo4j-release 7475:7474 7687:7687

In a web browser, open the Neo4j Browser at http://localhost:7475/browser.
Use the automatically-generated password (as printed in the output of the helm install command) or the one you have configured in the my-neo4j.values.yaml file.

Check that statefulset is OK.

kubectl get statefulsets
