To create persistent (over updates) sites hosted by mailcow: dockerized, a new site configuration must be placed inside data/conf/nginx/:

nano data/conf/nginx/my_custom_site.conf

A good template to begin with:

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 mysite.example.org;

  location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
    allow all;
    default_type "text/plain";
  }

  if ($scheme = http) {
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
  }
}

The filename is not important, as long as the filename carries a .conf extension.

It is also possible to extend the configuration of the default file site.conf file:

nano data/conf/nginx/site.my_content.custom

This filename does not need to have a ".conf" extension, but follows the pattern site.*.custom, where * is a custom name.

If PHP is to be included in a custom site, please use the PHP-FPM listener on phpfpm:9002 or create a new listener in data/conf/phpfpm/php-fpm.d/pools.conf.

Restart Nginx (and PHP-FPM, if a new listener was created):

docker-compose restart nginx-mailcow
docker-compose restart php-fpm-mailcow
