I suspect that the problem with generally open trackers is that it's too
easy to get wrapped up in a DMCA mess when used in a way that someone
claims infringes copyright.
The basic bittorrent package comes with bittorrent-tracker, which can
run a tracker. I haven't used it lately, but I remember from the last
time I did that you can set it up to only allow torrents that you
provide to it. That keeps others from using your tracker, and thus
avoids difficulties due to copyright allegations.
I think you can place the torrents in a dir and in it:
bittorrent-tracker \
--dfile dfile \
--port 6969 \
--allowed_dir . \
--pid ./tracker.pid
