Forum: NGINX nginx listen to $hostname doesn't work, is it supported?

n my nginx conf file, I have :

  listen       80;
    server_name  $hostname;

 if I do netstat I see that it is listening on 0.0.0.0:80 , is there any
workaround in nginx.conf , to make it listen to $hostname:80  ?  where
$hostname is coming from system ?

I tried multiple combinations with no success so far.

Thanks

Why not just use 'localhost'? For example:
    listen localhost:80;
