What this unit does

php-fpm85 runs the PHP 8.5 FastCGI Process Manager. webDragon passes PHP requests to it over the Unix socket /run/php-fpm85/php-fpm.sock. The unit runs the manager in the foreground (-F) so systemd owns the process, raises LimitNOFILE so it can hold many sockets, and reloads with USR2.
