Is it possible to setup an AEM local environment to be accessed through the internet, with a public IP or DNS?

yes, it is possible, but not really recommended. Because a local development has default credentials and is not considered production ready.

    Where can I find the documentation on how to do that?

      For what?

       

      The AEM 6.5 security checklist: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/administering/security/security-checklist.html?lang=en

       

      And for making the AEM instance public: There is nothing really special, you can follow any documentation which describes how to make internet services public.

       

      A piece of advice: Even test instance require a proper setup and security; if you don't have experience with this, I highly suggest to get in touch with someone who has done that before.

        You can use tools like localtunnel [1] / ngrok [2] to expose your localhost over the internet. But be careful as it's easy to exploit localhost due to lake of security. Make sure to apply security checklist [3]
