cannot connect to nsqd from another service defined in docker-compose file - docker

Question

I have a service connecting to nsqd to produce and consume messages. I have integration tests connecting to it (broadcast address 127.0.0.1) and this works fine executing it locally in the cli or the ide.
Then I have created this service to up with docker-compose, but cannot connect to nsqd.
Following is my docker-compose file
version: '3'
services:
redis:
image: redis:4.0.9-alpine
ports:
- "6379:6379"
nsqlookupd:
image: nsqio/nsq:v0.3.8
command: /nsqlookupd
ports:
- "4160:4160"
- "4161:4161"
nsqd:
image: nsqio/nsq:v0.3.8
command: /nsqd --lookupd-tcp-address=nsqlookupd:4160 --broadcast-address=127.0.0.1
links:
- nsqlookupd:nsqlookupd
ports:
- "4150:4150"
- "4151:4151"
nsqadmin:
image: nsqio/nsq:v0.3.8
ports:
- "4171:4171"
links:
- nsqlookupd:nsqlookupd
command: /nsqadmin --lookupd-http-address=nsqlookupd:4161
creator:
build: "creator/"
depends_on:
- nsqlookupd
- nsqd
- redis
environment:
SERVER_ADDR: ":8080"
NSQ_ADDR: "nsqd:4150"
NSQ_TOPIC: "driver_locations"
NSQ_CHANNEL: "ch"
REDIS: "redis:6379"
ports:
- "8080:8080"
Right now I don't care about the tests locally, just to have all the containers working properly.
I have tried changing the broadcast, removing the broadcast...
As they say in the docs https://nsq.io/deployment/docker.html#using-docker-compose this is the last thing I tried (basically the changes are the commands), with no luck:
version: '3'
services:
redis:
image: redis:4.0.9-alpine
ports:
- "6379:6379"
nsqlookupd:
image: nsqio/nsq
command: /nsqlookupd
ports:
- "4160"
- "4161"
nsqd:
image: nsqio/nsq
command: /nsqd --lookupd-tcp-address=nsqlookupd:4160
depends_on:
- nsqlookupd
ports:
- "4150"
- "4151"
nsqadmin:
image: nsqio/nsq
command: /nsqadmin --lookupd-http-address=nsqlookupd:4161
depends_on:
- nsqlookupd
ports:
- "4171"

Cache problem, sorry for that :facepalm:
What I told it wasn't working (removing the broadcast) IT IS
