I use this docker-compose file to create 2 users and I was able to make a payment over lightning on regtest. The tutorial was made with btcpayserver/bitcoin:0.18.0. Now I want to upgrade this image to the latest: btcpayserver/bitcoin:22.0-1. The lightning node cannot connect with this new bitcoin image:

Could not connect to bitcoind using bitcoin-cli. Is bitcoind running?
Make sure you have bitcoind running and that bitcoin-cli is able to connect to bitcoind.
You can verify that your Bitcoin Core installation is ready for use by running: $ bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcconnect=alice-bitcoind:8335 echo 'hello world' **BROKEN** plugin-bcli: Could not connect to bitcoind using bitcoin-cli.
Is bitcoind running? Make sure you have bitcoind running and that bitcoin-cli is able to connect to bitcoind.

INFO plugin-bcli: Killing plugin: exited before we sent init

bitcoind is running.

What do I need to change in the parameters ?

The original docker-compose.yml file:
