Trying to figure out how to setup an aria2 server. It seems to rely on XDG dirs which isn't normally setup on LXC containers. I don't want to setup a whole GUI VM just for one application.

Set up a minimal server VM instead? You don't need to install a GUI on a VM.

Debian minimal uses very few resources, that's what I use.

You miss the part about XDG dirs?

Should be able to just install the package xdg-user-dirs on any distro. Would probably work fine in LXC containers too.

XDG doesn't mean you need a GUI. XDG is a specification on how to set up config, cache, etc. directories. aria2 should work without setting anything up.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Trying to get a real debrid client to work right. It seems the internal downloader doesn't work, and it supported using aria2.

I think you probably should step back and see if there is other options

Already done that. This is the only one that supports working with sonarr and radarr afaik.
