You might try to use Batch mode, like this: ./elasticsearch-plugin install --batch repository-s3

For more information you can click [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/_other_command_line_parameters.html#_batch_mode) , [here](https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/issues/3414) and [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/installation-of-plugins-using-initcontainers-stuck/240811)

Let me know the result.
