How to make an alias for a subdomain?

Question

Nginx

There are 2 domains: example.com, subdomain.example.com. Both work, everything is set. You need to make subdomain.example.com open from example.com/subdomain, so that paths for files work without taking into account the first directory, i.e. the subdomain itself, /subdomain/.
It doesn't work like this:

location /subdomain {
    root /var/www/subdomain.example.com;
}

Answer 1

Understood. There may be other ways, but this seems to be the simplest:

location /subdomain {
    alias /var/www/subdomain.example.com;
}
