Create subdomain webmail.example.org

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 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 docker-compose up -d. See "acme-mailcow" and "nginx-mailcow" logs if anything fails.
