command: Required command

But this data is not retained once the pod restarts and the command is run again and again resulting in a crashloopbackoff. How to resolve this?

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: elastic-deployment
labels:
app: elastic
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: elastic
