Based on the Nginx wiki the $hostname variable is set to the machine's hostname as returned by gethostname.
I tried that and although gethostname doesn't work my Debian box it still returns the host correctly.
Then I tried to use that variable $hostname to set the server_name, but that didn't work.
Why is that and is there another way I can accomplish that?

Most variables in nginx only exist at runtime, not during configuration time.
For this reason, most variables cannot be used with the server_name directive. Since $hostname is a constant value, there's an explicit check for exactly $hostname in the server_name handler.
It only allows for the server_name to be set to $hostname, not static.$hostname. You may be able to patch the source to make it support that feature (ngx_http_core_module.c, look for $hostname), but you can't do it with the existing code.

This would be incredibly insecure and allow host header injection attacks to anyone who sets "static.malicioushostnamehere.com" as an example.
