jhipster seperate services during development - docker

Question

Goal
We would like to create a development environment where we can run the latest versions of our registry, uaa and gateway on a server. We would then like to develop and run (in or outside docker) a microservice locally. This microservice should then be configured to connect and communicate to the other server.
Test setup
I have now generated a docker-compose via the jhipster sub-generator for our gateway, uaa and registry. I then tried to start the microservice i'm currently working on via gradlew, build it via gradlew dockerBuild and start the app.yml. I also tried to change the hostname in app.yml to localhost, 127.0.0.1 and the IP of the registries docker container.
My results
If hostname is jhipster-registry: unknownhostexception. Most likely because the applications are started in different docker-compose files.
If hostname is localhost or 127.0.0.1: http://127.0.0.1:8761/config/application/prod/master connection refused. Changing to Perhaps some more configuration is required?
If the hostname is the ip of the registry docker container: After the jhipster logo in the terminal no other output is given. But the application never stops due to an exception.
