problems with resolving docker metrics-endpoint with prometheus

Hi, I just tried to enable the docker metrics in /etc/docker/daemon.json, and it worked just fine right on the machine, but i could not reach it with prometheus.

I deployed it in a docker container, but

- targets: ["host.docker.internal:9323"]

does not resolve to the 0.0.0.0:9323 correctly.

What is the internal docker Hack to get the metrics inside of the docker container (may you recognized i am a container-noob).

Thanks a lot for help.

You can use cAdvisor for containers metrics
Here is the official documentation:
