iirc you donw need a $1 behind alias like in rewrite-rules

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#alias

the following should work

location /wifi  {
    alias /var/www/owums/public; # <-- be sure to point to 'public'!
    passenger_base_uri /wifi;
    passenger_app_root /var/www/owums;
    passenger_document_root /var/www/owums/public;
    passenger_enabled on;
    passenger_app_env development;
}
