It [might be easiest](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51340872/can-i-certify-website-without-domain-name) to get a domain name. You can get [a domain name in the `.xyz` top-level domain of six to nine digits](https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/vtqg9m/psa_any_xyz_domain_of_the_format_69_digitsxyz_is/) (e.g., `123456789.xyz`) for about a dollar per year. I’ve used [Porkbun](https://porkbun.com/) as my domain name registrar for several years.

Alternatively, I’d also consider using [YunoHost](https://yunohost.org/). It’s how I got started with self-hosting a few years ago, and @fflorent has [packaged SilverBullet for YunoHost](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/silverbullet-packaged-for-yunohost-to-easily-self-host-it/313). You can set up YunoHost with [a free subdomain](https://yunohost.org/en/dns_nohost_me), and it’ll largely handle DNS and HTTPS for you.
