Thanks for coming back and sharing your answer!
One important side effect of this change that I wanted to quickly call out for anyone using this is that changing the hostname from the default of localhost affects the use of Web APIs that would otherwise require a secure context such as navigator.geolocation and MediaDevices.getUserMedia. Be sure to test this type of functionality after making the change as it may be required to use the native equivalents of functionality such as these. This may or may not affect you, but it can catch you unaware if you didn’t know about that!
