Immich not reading DB_URL env variable passed using docker compose

I am trying to setup immich inside a docker network, as i already have another instance of postgres and redis running, and I don't want to share them. So immich will have it's own database and redis instance. I am not using machine learning features. I tried setting up DB_URL in immich server, but it is somehow getting ignored and default user of postgres is being used. I have checked docker inspect shows correct structure for DB_URL. Here is the error immich server throws:
