+.Port 80
+The Let's Encrypt ACME challenge requires that the application is reachable on port `80` (basically: `http://your-dns-name`).
+Ensure the port `80` is accessible from the Internet.
+It might require an explicit security policy depending on your hosting provider.
+
+We also recommend setting `quarkus.http.insecure-requests` to `redirect` to redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS.
+The ACME challenge accepts self-signed certificates and up to 10 redirections:

 The challenge is served from the primary HTTP interface (accessible from your DNS domain name).
 
 IMPORTANT: Do not start your application yet.
