docker nginx stream balancer 404

I have docker and nginx version: nginx/1.10.0 (Ubuntu 16.04)

my nginx.conf

user www-data;
worker_processes auto;
pid /run/nginx.pid;

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
    # multi_accept on;
}

http {

    ##
    # Basic Settings
    ##

    sendfile on;
    tcp_nopush on;
    tcp_nodelay on;
    keepalive_timeout 65;
    types_hash_max_size 2048;
    # server_tokens off;

    # server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
    # server_name_in_redirect off;

    include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type application/octet-stream;

    ##
    # SSL Settings
    ##

    ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; # Dropping SSLv3, ref: POODLE
    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

    ##
    # Logging Settings
    ##

    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

    ##
    # Gzip Settings
    ##

    gzip on;
    gzip_disable "msie6";

    # gzip_vary on;
    # gzip_proxied any;
    # gzip_comp_level 6;
    # gzip_buffers 16 8k;
    # gzip_http_version 1.1;
    # gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;

    ##
    # Virtual Host Configs
    ##

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

include /etc/nginx/tcpconf.d/*;


#mail {
#   # See sample authentication script at:
#   # http://wiki.nginx.org/ImapAuthenticateWithApachePhpScript
# 
#   # auth_http localhost/auth.php;
#   # pop3_capabilities "TOP" "USER";
#   # imap_capabilities "IMAP4rev1" "UIDPLUS";
# 
#   server {
#       listen     localhost:110;
#       protocol   pop3;
#       proxy      on;
#   }
# 
#   server {
#       listen     localhost:143;
#       protocol   imap;
#       proxy      on;
#   }
#}

this is default nginx.conf, and I added include /etc/nginx/tcpconf.d/*;

tcpconf.d contains 1 file:

stream {
    upstream docker{
        server localhost:8182;
        server localhost:8183;
    }

    server {
        listen 443;
        proxy_pass docker;
    }
}

So basically i have glassfish 4 server on docker, and when i start container on port 8182 i want to nginx balance request to port 8183(if 8182 not responding) and in reverse order.

And this is works perfectly, except one thing, when i start container, glassfish server is starting and web application on this server is starting too. Glassfish starts after 1-5 seconds and web application after 30 sec - 1 min, so when glassfish is up(for example on port 8182) nginx send request to this port and i getting 404, because glassfish is up, but web application is not, in this case I want to be redirected on port 8183 because 404 is not what i want to see)

so my question is how to tell nginx to not showing me 404 and try to request another port?

Is there any reason you are using the stream module for this? If it is a regular http server NGINX is proxying to then use regular http{} and proxy_next_upstream to define behavior on 404 error:
