Description

Within my API docker container, I can ping and connect to the networked redis container by its containername redis_cache I set in the docker compose. I ping like this and the hostname is resolveable from my API container as such: `ping redis_cache`

However:
`const queue = kue.createQueue({redis: 'redis://redis_cache:6379'});`
does not work.

`Redis connection to redis_cache:6379 failed - getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND redis_cache redis_cache:6379`

Anyone have any ideas what i can attempt next to get this working?

Research direction

Start with the kue.createQueue Redis configuration shown in the issue and reproduce the Docker setup using the redis_cache hostname. Compare hostname resolution from the API container with the Node.js Redis connection path; done means the queue connects to Redis without the getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND error.
