Best way to do aria2 on Proxmox

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.

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.
