How to have the console display reliably with containers?

[kikao]

My containers' console usually takes a couple of minutes before it actually appears in the ProxMox UI. Unless I set it to shell, in which case it appears instantly; but then I have an open root prompt in the UI.

How can I get the "regular" console, either /dev/tty or /dev/console to reliably show in the console tab for my containers?

The problem is that the container login program (getty) does not know how to render its login screen. Best to always log yourself out and "test" typing with one character to see that the screen is automatically refreshed. On a real console, a simple shift key press works, with the console over PVE, a real character has to be entered. I hate this waiting stuff too, so I stopped using it (before I started to use it). Just use SSH to the container or piggybagging via ssh -t <pvehost> pct enter <container>
