You could find a nice list here:
https://www.apnic.net/get-ip/faqs/what-is-an-ip-address/ipv6-address-types/
Every IPv6 aware interface will generate a fixed IP address in addition
to any configured by DHCP or DNS or configuration file.
It's of the form fe80:<something derived from the MAC address>
If you use command
ip a
You will see the fe80 addresses assigned to the interfaces.
you can ping them as in
ping fe80::87d:c6ff:fea4:a6fc
you can ssh to them
ssh username@fe80::87d:c6ff:fea4:a6fc
you can add them to /etc/hosts
fe80::87d:c6ff:fea4:a6fc my_file_server_1
and then ssh to them as
ssh username@my_file_server_1
or ping my_file_server_1
So without any infrastructure at all you too can be using ipv6
