**IMPORTANT**: This guide only applies to non SNI enabled configurations. The certificate path needs to be adjusted if SNI is enabled. Something like `ssl_certificate,key /etc/ssl/mail/webmail.example.org/cert.pem,key.pem;` will do. **But**: The certificate should be acquired **first** and only after the certificate exists a site config should be created. Nginx will fail to start if it cannot find the certificate and key.

To create a subdomain `webmail.example.org` and redirect it to SOGo, you need to create a **new** Nginx site. Take care of "CHANGE_TO_MAILCOW_HOSTNAME"!

**nano data/conf/nginx/webmail.conf**

``` hl_lines="9 17"
server {
  ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/mail/cert.pem;
  ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/mail/key.pem;
  index index.php index.html;
  client_max_body_size 0;
  root /web;
  include /etc/nginx/conf.d/listen_plain.active;
  include /etc/nginx/conf.d/listen_ssl.active;
  server_name webmail.example.org;
  server_tokens off;
  location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
    allow all;
    default_type "text/plain";
  }

  location / {
    return 301 https://CHANGE_TO_MAILCOW_HOSTNAME/SOGo;
  }
}
```

Save and restart Nginx: 

=== "docker compose (Plugin)"

    ``` bash
	docker compose restart nginx-mailcow
    ```

=== "docker-compose (Standalone)"

    ``` bash
	docker-compose restart nginx-mailcow
    ```

Now open `mailcow.conf` and find `ADDITIONAL_SAN`.
Add `webmail.example.org` to this array, don't use quotes!

```
ADDITIONAL_SAN=webmail.example.org
```

Run the command to apply the changes:

=== "docker compose (Plugin)"

    ``` bash
	docker compose up -d
    ```

=== "docker-compose (Standalone)"

    ``` bash
	docker-compose up -d
    ```

 See "acme-mailcow" and "nginx-mailcow" logs if anything fails.
