Change Sogo's web address

Cisco30 · 19 Mar

hi
I would like to know if it is possible to use an address like sogo.mailcow.com instead of mail.mailcow.com/SOGo/ to access the sogo interface. The reason I’m asking if this is possible is because it’s easier to remember for mobile users who check their email from a web browser.
Thank you.

Thank you for your help.
I configured the custom URL for SOGO. However, now when I type sogo.tiboxs.com into my web browser, it works, but the browser bar redirects me to mail.tiboxs.com/SOGo/. Is this the expected behavior?
I expected to see sogo.tiboxs.com instead of mail.tiboxs.com/SOGo/.
thanks

Cisco30 redirects me to mail.tiboxs.com/SOGo/. Is this the expected behavior?

With the provided config: yes. If you want sogo.tiboxs.com to stick you will have to use some kind of reverse proxy config (-> Google).

Edit: something like this:

    location / {
        proxy_pass https://mail.tiboxs.com/SoGo;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }

No idea if the proxy module is available inside the nginx container though

I’ll leave it like this for now; it’s already good, and I’ll keep researching how to get there…without breaking everything ;-)
Thank you.

Also, with the next release of mailcow, there will be a new approach to mailcow GUI and authentication.

e.g. you could use mail.yourdmain.com, you will be presented the mailcow login, user logs in and is automatically transferred to SOGo (without to need to login again or click something). Mailcow user GUI can then be opened from within SOGo if needed.

Moohoo everyone In this blog post, I’ll walk you through the current state of the nightly branch of mailcow. The biggest highlight is of course the support for external authentication sources. To make this new feature as seamless and user-friendly as possible, we had to introduce some adjustments —

so you would not necessarily need sogo.yourdomain.com.
