Alpine containers broken?

I've been using Proxmox for a while with both VMs and containers.

I wanted to test Alpine linux in a container but it seems to me the template is broken or it works quite differently than the Debian or Ubuntu images.

The problem is a cannot login into it. Do they start a SSH server? I usually go with a SSH certificate for login so I don't need to maintain per-container passwords. I tried also setting a password and login using the console. I haven't been able to log to the container by any means.

I'm using latest PVE version 6.3-3.

What I'm doing wrong?
 
I'm in, using a simple password I managed to login with the console. Indeed, the image doesn't include a SSH server.
