http://neo4j.het.io/browser/ time out about hetionet

Thanks for the report. I restarted the instance so it's back up now.

@dongbohu any suggestions on an automated way to restart the VM or docker instance when the Neo4j database stops working? We could do a daily restart such that an outage would never be >24 hours? Or could we detect whether the database fails to respond to a query... and if so restart?

If you can replace the docker with microk8s on an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, the microk8s will restart the pod/container by itself. There will be no outage.

@dhimmel I never used microk8s before. The simplest solution I can think of is to launch a http(s) request and see whether the response is valid. If not, restart the docker container.

Closing since we now have uptime alerts, see #45.
