<para><filename>systemd-getty-generator</filename> is a generator
that automatically instantiates
- <filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> on the kernel console
- <filename>/dev/console</filename> if that is not directed to the
- virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate
+ <filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> on the kernel
+ console(s), if they can function as ttys and are not provided by
+ the virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate
<filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> instances for
virtualizer consoles, if execution in a virtualized environment is
- detected. Finally, it will instantiate
+ detected. If execution in a container environment is detected, it
+ will instead enable <filename>console-getty.service</filename> for
+ <filename>/dev/console</filename>, and
<filename>container-getty@.service</filename> instances for
additional container pseudo TTYs as requested by the container
manager (see <ulink
sufficient to redirect the kernel console with a kernel command
line argument such as <varname>console=</varname> to get both
kernel messages and a getty prompt on a serial TTY. See <ulink
