How to run Ghost Blog under Windows Desktop on local domain?

Question

Windows

Greetings to all those who are not indifferent to this issue.
I spent a lot of time, but I still can't figure out how to make the Ghost engine open in production mode on the local domain (for example , ghost.loc )? In the config.js file, on line 13 ( url parameter ), I wrote the following:

production: {
        url: 'http://ghost.loc',
        mail: {},
        database: {
            client: 'sqlite3',
            connection: {
                filename: path.join(__dirname, '/content/data/ghost.db')
            },
            debug: false
        },

        server: {
            // Host to be passed to node's `net.Server#listen()`
            host: '127.0.0.1',
            // Port to be passed to node's `net.Server#listen()`, for iisnode set this to `process.env.PORT`
            port: '2368'
        }
    },

But when I try to open a blog at ghost.loc, I get an error in the browser. I tried to write the following line in the file "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts": 127.0.0.1 ghost.loc - the same to no avail.
If you specify 127.0.0.1:2368 in the URL parameter in config.js , everything opens without problems, but I saw in the manuals that people run a blog under Windows on any domain. How to achieve this?
