Celery + Django + Redis - error: [Errno 111] Connection refused - django

Question

I have an API app running Django. I have 2 containers,
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
5620d232e96c django_worker:v1 "/bin/bash" 4 days ago Up 4 days drunk_goldberg
eeb5b0e8dbce django_main:v1 "./main.sh" 4 days ago Up 4 days 0.0.0.0:8000->8000/tcp sick_almeida
Both host the same code base. The main is exposing the API, The other is running the celery worker via the command,
su -m celery -c "celery --app=XXX.celery:app worker -Q ${QUEUE} --loglevel=INFO --autoscale=10,3"
The Django settings file in both containers is,
BROKER_URL = 'redis://10.1.1.8:6379/0'
CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT = ['json']
CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_RESULT_SERIALIZER = 'json'
However in the main container i get the error,
ERROR:XXX.views:Exception Raised:

raise socket.error(last_err)
error: [Errno 111] Connection refused
Now if I test the connection from the main container its fine.
Any ideas ?
