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.

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.
