<p>I'm using LetsEncrypt CA for SSL certificates with a cron job that renews them. Recently moved one of our domains to dual ipv4/ipv6 stack and now the certificate renewal fails for that domain:</p>

<p>If I remove the 443 over ipv6 from the nginx server configuration then the challenge goes through, cert is renewed. 
Bring it back and after that the content is availiable on ipv6 over https:</p>
