Keyboard issues - home/end keys do nothing

Some keys do not work properly in the built-in console. However, when I SSH into the containers they work OK.
For example, home and end keys don't do anything.
I've had some issues with `backspace`, but changing TERM=linux helped.
I've also tried changing from TTY to consoe, and to shell, but I got the same behavior.
 
Confirming this issue on Proxmox 7.3-3.

The end and home keys do not work when entering the console on a container. Opening the console on a full VM does have working home and end keys, so the issue only seems to be related to containers. Tried with the debian-11-standard_11.3-1_amd64.tar.zst container template.

Also found that dir and file type colours do not show up with 'ls --color'. Changing the prompt colour does work when enabling git PS1 colours from .bashrc, so the terminal is capable of displaying colours.

The TERM environment variable is already set as TERM=linux when checking from the console in a container.
