New container - password and SSH keys

[rd1218]

When I create a container, I have the option to inform password and/or SSH key. If I inform SSH key, it's allowed not to inform password.

In case only SSH key is informed, how can I access via shell at Proxmox itself?
Since I didnt' inform a password, this seems to be not possible.

My case is still a test machine, but maybe this could lead to unreachable machine due to some mistake at firewall rules. But I still would like to know better this.

Thanks, but I think you got the wrong understanding, I'm not questioning how to use SSH key. Sorry if my question misplaced your thoughts.
My doubt is related to the print shown: proxmox interface allows user to insert only SSH key, without a password.
In such case I would have access to the machine via SSH, but I couldn't use "Console" directly at proxmox (Datacenter > ... > instance > Console) because it requires unavailable credentials (user/password) for login.
If, for any reason given, the only available way to access that instance is with the afore mentioned "Console", then I wouldn't have access due to the lack of password.

Hello !
There are two ways
First: From the command line use # pct enter <vmid>
Second: You can override a systemctl service to achieve auto-login for the gui terminal, please refer to https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/i...-the-web-gui-like-the-node.62097/#post-391377

This solved my doubt.
