       server_name mail.example.org;
   
       access_log /var/log/nginx/mail.example.org.access.log;
       error_log /var/log/nginx/mail.example.org.error.log;
   
       include snippets/https-permanent-redirect.conf;
   }
   
   server {
       include snippets/listen-https.conf;
       server_name mail.example.org;
   
       access_log /var/log/nginx/mail.example.org.access.log;
       error_log /var/log/nginx/mail.example.org.error.log;
   
       include snippets/acme-challenge.conf;
       #include snippets/ssl.conf;
       #ssl_certificate      /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.org/fullchain.pem;
       #ssl_certificate_key  /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.org/privkey.pem;
       #include snippets/hsts.conf;
   
       client_max_body_size 10G; # set max upload size
   
       root /var/lib/roundcube/;
   
       
       location ~ ^/(config|temp|logs)/ {
           deny all;
       }   
       
       location ~ /\. {

       index index.php;
   
       location ~ \.php$ {
           try_files $uri =404;
           include fastcgi.conf;
           fastcgi_index index.php;
           fastcgi_pass php5;
