Can I run my website index.html file without domain name and run it only with server IP and directory?

Search 'what is my ip' on google.

Install iis or apache on your computer and make your computer a server.

Specify in the program which files you want to make public.

Make the necessary port forwarding settings for the program you have installed.

Send your global ip address to the people you want to share your site with.

Sure you can, just request it from your server: http://<server-ip_address>/index.html, where you replace <server-ip_address> with the actual IP address. So for example http://1.2.3.4/index.html, assumoing that we are talking about an IPV4 address and that this address can be reached in the sense of network routing and firewalls.

This is only possible using the not encrypted http protocol, since https requires a valid ssl certificate issued to a valid domain name that matches the server's host name. Which is simply impossible here since that host name is the IP address in this case. Any attempt to use https will result in the browser blocking the request for security reasons.
