Apache2 ProxyPass Error500

Question

I have an OnlyOffice Document Server running on my server bound to port 8888 via Docker. Now I want to use a Let's Encrypt certificate to ensure a safe connection (self signed certificates won't work). I use the following config in Apache to rewrite office.example.org to office.example.org:8888 but it throws me an error 500

<VirtualHost *:443>
 ServerName office.example.org
  ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass / https://localhost:8888/
    ProxyPassReverse / https://localhost:8888/ 
</VirtualHost>

All necessary modules are enabled. Has anyone any idea on how to solve this problem or a different idea to solve the Let's Encrypt problem?

Adding the following lines to the Apache config file

SSLEngine on
SSLProxyEngine on
SSLProxyVerify none
SSLProxyCheckPeerCN off
SSLProxyCheckPeerName off

and enabling the with Proxy HTTP module with

sudo a2enmod proxy_http

did the trick!
