Hey, maybe this is trivial, but I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.

I have two services (containers) running. One container (c1) is hosting a Django web application on port 8001. The other service (c2) is running on port 8000 and has some endpoint v1/endpoint up and running.

I now want to request this endpoint from within my first container (c1) over the private network adress.

I have tried to use both the long and the short form of the specified adress displayed under the settings from c2. (service_name.railway.internal|service_name)

So in full length the URL I am trying to reach from c1 is http://service_name:8000/v1/endpoint, which is not working.

Originally, I tested it locally, where I had two Docker containers running. There, I also encountered the issue that they could not connect, but I could fix it by establishing a network between them and then also simply calling the second container by its name and the exposed port.

Am I missing something here/do I need to do something additionally such that c1 can reach c2?

Hope anyone can help me out here by giving me a hint! :)

Best regards,

Marius
