Description
#### Version
100% Stock debian bullseye, new lxd full image. Nothing else installed.
```
influx version
Influx CLI 2.3.0 (git: 88ba346) build_date: 2022-04-06T19:30:53Z
```
##### Relevant URLs
https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.3/install/?t=Linux#pass-arguments-to-systemd)
(Note, the matching version v.2.3)
It says this:
```
[Pass arguments to systemd](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.3/install/?t=Linux#pass-arguments-to-systemd)
Add one or more lines like the following containing arguments for influxd to /etc/default/influxdb2:
ARG1="--http-bind-address :8087"
ARG2=""
Edit the /lib/systemd/system/influxdb.service file as follows:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/influxd $ARG1 $ARG2
```
But instead it calls a shell script "/usr/lib/influxdb/scripts/influxd-systemd-start.sh" that does not take any arguments, starts influxd with a normal shell '&' and gets the config using the influxd executable.
At this stage I am not sure anything is correct.

Research direction
Start with the versioned install page at https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.3/install/?t=Linux#pass-arguments-to-systemd and compare its systemd instructions with the Debian package files mentioned in the report: /etc/default/influxdb2, /lib/systemd/system/influxdb.service, and /usr/lib/influxdb/scripts/influxd-systemd-start.sh. Confirm which setup applies to Influx CLI 2.3.0 and update the documentation so the instructions match the installed service.
