Pihole connection refused

[vanharen07]

When trying to setup the pihole exporter I'm running into some problems. No matter the way I try to connect to my pihole using the tool it gives the error connection refused. I'm running both services in docker using the latest non dev versions of both.

pihole exporter compose:

services:
  pihole-exporter:
    container_name: pihole-exporter
    image: ekofr/pihole-exporter:latest
    environment:
      PIHOLE_HOSTNAME: pihole
      #PIHOLE_API_TOKEN: "also secret"
      PIHOLE_PASSWORD: secret
      PIHOLE_PORT: 801
    ports: 
      
9617:9617
  networks:
t3_proxy

pihole compose:

services:
  pihole:
    container_name: pihole
    image: pihole/pihole:latest
    ports:
      
"53:53/tcp"
"53:53/udp"
"67:67/udp"
"801:80/tcp"
environment:
  TZ: 'Europe/Amsterdam'
  WEBPASSWORD: 'secret'
volumes:
'$DOCKERDIR/appdata/pihole:/etc/pihole'
'$DOCKERDIR/appdata/pihole/etc-dnsmasq.d:/etc/dnsmasq.d'
cap_add:
NET_ADMIN

This all is run on a simple debian install with amd64 hardware.

If there is anymore information I need to provide or something I can do please let me know. I'm a bit clueless at this point
