nginx::http_cfg_append:
  'passenger_root': '/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/phusion_passenger/locations.ini'
  'passenger_ruby': '/usr/bin/passenger_free_ruby

A valid nginx configuration thats able to understand passenger.

Any additional information you'd like to impart

The passenger install guide says to use libnginx-mod-http-passenger and not passenger for Debian 9 and Ubuntu 18.04. libnginx-mod-http-passenger will pull passenger as a dependency.
