Jhipster registry not working on localhost - jhipster

Question

thanks in advance for this awesome stack platform that is jhipster.
I have a question, I am trying to run a microservice directly with:
./mvnw -Pdev -DskipTests
And I am getting (UnknownHostException -- 'http://admin:admin#jhipster-registry:8761/eureka/):
2021-09-16 10:06:26.225 INFO 6762 --- [ restartedMain] c.n.d.s.t.d.RedirectingEurekaHttpClient : Request execution error. endpoint=DefaultEndpoint{ serviceUrl='http://admin:admin#jhipster-registry:8761/eureka/}, exception=I/O error on GET request for "http://admin:admin#jhipster-registry:8761/eureka/apps/": jhipster-registry: Name or service not known; nested exception is java.net.UnknownHostException: jhipster-registry: Name or service not known stacktrace=org.springframework.web.client.ResourceAccessException: I/O error on GET request for "http://admin:admin#jhipster-registry:8761/eureka/apps/": jhipster-registry: Name or service not known; nested exception is java.net.UnknownHostException: jhipster-registry: Name or service not known

My doubt is, why is trying to use the domain jhipster-registry:8761 instead of what I have in the dev configurations, "localhost"?
eureka:
instance:
prefer-ip-address: true
client:
service-url:
defaultZone: http://admin:${jhipster.registry.password}#localhost:8761/eureka/
Right now I am using docker-compose in order to run the needed services, like the registry:
services:

# By default the JHipster Registry runs with the "dev" and "native"
# Spring profiles.
# "native" profile means the filesystem is used to store data, see

I know that if I add into the /etc/hosts the entry "127.0.0.1 jhipster-registry" is going to work, but I cant find/understand why is trying to use jhipster-registry instead of localhost?
Thanks!
