You probably won’t want your chat to be out in the open but encrypted - and encryption requires a certificate and such certificate is only issued to a domain name and never issued to an IP address.

The reason for this is that an IP address can host multiple domains and as such not eglible for a certificate.

But you could try installing onionshare as this provides you with an encrypted platform - for among a few others - a chat.
