Hi!
I already have https server running and wanted to have the challenge validation happening using it, but I got an error showing that the challenge verification happened using regular http link.

Is it possible to switch it over or I have to create the dummy http host just for verification?

When using http-01 Let's Encrypt will always try http:// instead of https://, however they will automatically follow redirects to https:// so if you create a dummy vhost it will only need to redirect to https://

unfortunately it is not the option in some cases - when both http and
https are used on the same server

Unfortunately http-01 doesn't allow for anything else but access using http://. If you need validation on port 443 you'll need to use tls-alpn-01 which is a lot more complicated to set up. There is a bit of example config + code in the docs directory, but since there are tons of options for this it's hard to explain for every possible configuration.

Thank you, I will look into tls-alpn-01
