VirtualDocumentRoot in VirtualHost with SSL results in 404 responses

I'm trying to configure a very basic server setup where domains are served from their own directory. For example:

I've enabled mod_vhost_alias and I have one VirtualHost in /etc/apache2/sites-available/main.conf:

<VirtualHost *:443>
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/oblik.dev/fullchain.pem
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/oblik.dev/privkey.pem

    UseCanonicalName Off
    VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/$0
    ServerAlias *.dev

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

This is the output of apache2ctl -S:

VirtualHost configuration:
*:443                  46.101.237.154 (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/main.conf:1)
ServerRoot: "/etc/apache2"
Main DocumentRoot: "/var/www/html"
Main ErrorLog: "/var/log/apache2/error.log"
Mutex ssl-stapling: using_defaults
Mutex ssl-cache: using_defaults
Mutex default: dir="/var/run/apache2/" mechanism=default
Mutex mpm-accept: using_defaults
Mutex watchdog-callback: using_defaults
Mutex ssl-stapling-refresh: using_defaults
PidFile: "/var/run/apache2/apache2.pid"
Define: DUMP_VHOSTS
Define: DUMP_RUN_CFG
User: name="www-data" id=33
Group: name="www-data" id=33

And here's the output of ls -al /var/www/:

total 16
drwxr-xr-x  4 root     root     4096 Mar 18 06:19 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 root     root     4096 Mar 17 06:54 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 www-data www-data 4096 Mar 17 09:30 ikarov.oblik.dev
drwxr-xr-x  2 www-data www-data 4096 Mar 18 07:14 oblik.dev

I have an index.php in both directories with the same permissions as their folders.

When I open https://oblik.dev, I get a 404. Same thing for https://ikarov.oblik.dev. However, if I substitute VirtualDocumentRoot for a regular DocumentRoot, the server works as expected.

I know that Chrome handles .dev domains a bit differently in that it enforces SSL, but I've set up an SSL certificate with wildcard domains via Let's Encrypt, so it shouldn't be a problem.

What am I missing?

The problem was that Apache uses % for name interpolation instead of $ like Regex. I had to change this:

VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/$0

...to this:

VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%0
