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;
