MongoServerError: "No host described in new configuration with {version: 1, term: 0} for replica set rs0 maps to this node," How do I fix this? - mongodb

Question

Started mongo server using
mongod --port 27018 --dbpath "/usr/local/var/mongodb/data/db0" --replSet rs0 --bind_ip "locahost,0.0.0.0"
And connected to the instance using
mongosh mongodb://127.0.0.1:27018/vndr
Tried to initiate a replica set using rs.initiate()
Then got the error
---
> rs.initiate()
{
"ok" : 0,
"errmsg" : "No host described in new configuration with {version: 1, term: 0} for replica set rs0 maps to this node",
"code" : 93,
"codeName" : "InvalidReplicaSetConfig"
}
On the server log noticed these lines saying ""Nnadozies-MacBook-Pro.local" not known
{"t":{"$date":"2022-08-18T14:52:20.861+01:00"},"s":"W", "c":"NETWORK", "id":21207, "ctx":"conn1","msg":"getaddrinfo() failed","attr":{"host":"Nnadozies-MacBook-Pro.local","error":"nodename nor servname provided, or not known"}}

Followed response in this similar question and added the line 127.0.0.1 Nnadozies-MacBook-Pro.local to my /etc/hosts file to fix this.
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
# Added by Docker Desktop
# To allow the same kube context to work on the host and the container:
127.0.0.1 kubernetes.docker.internal
# End of section
127.0.0.1 figmadaemon.com
127.0.0.1 Nnadozies-MacBook-Pro.local
Posting this because the similar question wasn't really clear on how to solve the problem. I think this makes it clearer that the hostname mongodb was looking at could not be resolved to an IP address because it wasn't in /etc/hosts
Tip on editing /etc/hosts: use sudo permissions for write access
Other than that please I'm curious what other way I can run mongodb instances so they use known hostnames.
