Prometheus scraping error: Error scraping target: Get "http://localhost:8081/metrics": dial tcp [::1

Hi there I'm trying to setup Prometheus to scrape immich. Immich is running in a separate compose file to Prometheus. I tried adding the Immich network to the Prometheus compose file as follows: 
---
services:
  prometheus:
    image: prom/prometheus
    container_name: prometheus
    volumes:
      - ./config:/etc/prometheus
      - prometheus-data:/prometheus
    ports:
      - "9090:9090"
    networks:
      - prometheus
      - immich
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  prometheus-data:

networks:
  prometheus:
    driver: bridge
  immich:
    external: true
    name: immich_default
---
services:
  prometheus:
    image: prom/prometheus
    container_name: prometheus
    volumes:
      - ./config:/etc/prometheus
      - prometheus-data:/prometheus
    ports:
      - "9090:9090"
    networks:
      - prometheus
      - immich
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  prometheus-data:

networks:
  prometheus:
    driver: bridge
  immich:
    external: true
    name: immich_default
But still get the error: Error scraping target: Get "http://localhost:8081/metrics": dial tcp [::1]:8081: connect: connection refused on Prometheus

Did you look at https://immich.app/docs/features/monitoring and https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/main/docker/prometheus.yml ? For something running inside a docker container, localhost is almost always wrong

I did, yes! The issue is that the two run in different stacks, so I can't reference it with the container name like normal Ahh ok, I got it working! Since they're in different compose files, I do need this networks section I posted above. But once that's added, I then have to use the container name, as you suggested
