Here is my example using DHCP and defining volume size, my storage name is main

pct create <id> /data/template/cache/debian-11-standard_11.3-1_amd64.tar.zst \
 -ostype <debian|centos|etc> \ \
 -hostname <hostname> \
 -cores <cores>  \
 -memory <memory(MB)> \
 -swap <swap(MB)> \
 -rootfs volume=main:<sizeInGB> \
 -net0 name=eth0,bridge=<bridge>,ip=dhcp,hwaddr=<macaddr format 00:00:00:00:00:00>

pct start <id>
pct exec <id> -- mkdir -p /root/.ssh/
pct push <id> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

You can use a param -ssh-public-keys to push your keys during creating

# pct help create
...
  -ssh-public-keys <filepath>
             Setup public SSH keys (one key per line, OpenSSH format).
