Nextcloud AIO has an option to skip domain check. the github README hasinstructions. And i love nextcloud because it integrates many features in one, file sharing, office collaboration, chat, rss reader, mailbox, photos, calendar, address-book, etc.

I have two instances running, one public and one completely local. And having a domain is just convenient but not necessary.

IPT is still running and easy to get into, Torrentleech is another, just as easy and almost a clone of IPT. Other than these, there is Milky which is new and open for now. These will suffice for most of your needs.

Here’s what I see as a consequence of free educational book distribution: within decades, generations of people everywhere in the world will grow up with access to the best scientific texts of all time. […] [T]he quality and accessibility of education to the poor will grow dramatically too. Frankly, I see this as the only way to naturally improve mankind: we need to make all the information available to them at any time.—Anonymous administrator of the Russian shadow library site Library Genesis (LG), explaining its raison d’être

Free flow of knowledge is absolutely essential. Of all the things that should be accessible knowledge and the opportunity for every person to realize their full potential should be a must.
