Is an IP address valid for server_name?

So I will be using nginx as a reverse proxy. I do not have a domain name for my server yet. I am in development.

Can I use the IP address such as the following in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default:

server {
listen 80;

server_name 1.2.3.4; //Obvious fake IP.

location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}

Thanks in advance for your reply!
