Phusion Passenger and Rails app using NVM Could not find a JavaScript runtime

I have the same problem and don't have a good solution but I did find I was able to get around my problem by creating a symbolic link like:

ln -sf /home/deploy/.nvm/versions/node/v6.10.1/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node

Doesn't work very well if there are multiple deployments on the same server but I also couldn't find a way to "properly" use NVM with Passenger / Rails.
