I have a site working as http. The site has from letsencrypt a certificate and the realted apache config to work with https as well.
How can I configure t3 to do both, http and https.
Regardless what I tried to configure it works either or but not both.
Help appreciated!

You can use baseVariants with conditions based on the request environment.
As an example:
base: http://your.server
baseVariants:
- base: 'https://your.server
condition: 'getenv("HTTPS") === "on"'
(How https:// is signalled to PHP depends on your webserver/proxy environment. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/16076965/2819581)
Nota bene: You have been warned about duplicate content, security etc. already.
No matter why you think you need to do this, supporting both schemas as in "after page load http can still be shown in the url bar" is not a secure nor a necessary thing anymore. What is relevant is that if a user types in http://example.com the page will be shown and that all communication with your server is secure, thus in the end https should be used. Letsencrypt is a wonderful choice.
In order to circumvent all problems user, browsers and web applications can run into, HSTS should be activated, which is basically "web server magic" for always using https without leaving anybody behind, even if they try to use http. So configure TYPO3 to serve via https and activate HSTS for your webserver.
On the details for why and how to HSTS refer to e.g. https://https.cio.gov/hsts/
If you want TYPO3 to serve content no matter the schema or domain adapt the TYPO3 site configuration base url to not include schema or domain. For security reasons I won't provide an example.
You should configure an http to https redirect in apache configuration. (.httacess)
Http times are over browser ms default to https and auto upgrade connections if possible. Also http is rightly marked as insecure (similar to a wrong ssl certificate)
There is no valid reason to use http. Anymore
