json rpc – Connecting bitcoind and BTC RPC Explorer in docker

Apologies if this is not a lot a bitcoin query, as a docker or RPC explorer one. Though my bother appears to be accurately exposing bitcoind RPC so I am hoping somebody would possibly be capable to illuminate the place I am going flawed.

I am making an attempt to run bitcoind and RPC Explorer in docker containers, to this point bitcoind is working efficiently and totally synced to chain. However I am unable to get the RPC connection to work for the Explorer. To maintain my setup so simple as doable I am making an attempt to cross all of the related atmosphere variables to every container utilizing docker compose as follows. The Explorer runs, however can not connect with RPC:
