I have a web server running multiple sites on nginx. They are secured by certificates from Lets Encrypt. For some reason, long ago, I installed the certs for one site using standalone rather than the nginx plugin.

So when certbot renew runs, it always fails when that domain is due for renewal because nginx is running on port 80. I have to stop nginx, and re-run certbot, and then restart nginx.

When I run certbot renew --nginx it complains that HTTP validation fails for those domains. I'm having difficulty figuring out how I can tell certbot to revalidate the domains by HTTP and switch them to the nginx plugin.

I would not do that at all. See [here](https://serverfault.com/a/896555/126632). – Michael Hampton May 16 '19 at 03:30
My main concern is not having to stop nginx so standalone can bind to :80. So I’m open to ideas. – samh May 16 '19 at 11:39
Then click the link. – Michael Hampton May 16 '19 at 18:11
I would remove the existing certificate and install a new one. – Jens Bradler May 17 '19 at 09:30
