Unable to read from standard input; is standard input open and a tty attached?

while trying to follow Install Elasticsearch with Docker | Elasticsearch Reference and stumble upon following issue using elasticsearch-plugin (A tool for managing installed elasticsearch plugins).

docker run - manually:

root@esm1:/opt/elastic-platinum/elasticsearch# docker run -it docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.3.0 bash
[root@94b40f1066b2 elasticsearch]# ./bin/elasticsearch-plugin install repository-gcs

works without an issue with docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-platinum:6.2.4 and stopped working with docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.3.0.

Please advise.

I have moved this to the Elasticsearch forum, as it has nothing to do with X-Pack.

In 6.2, the plugin installer would assume that a non-interactive terminal meant that you wanted to automatically accept all permissions and install the plugin.
This was an incorrect behaviour - we don't want to make those decisions on your behalf, so in 6.3 the behaviour has been corrected so that if the plugin installer needs you to answer a question, and you don't have a tty, then it will raise an error.

See: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/docker.html#_c_customized_image for instructions on how to solve this.

I appreciate you for moving to correct location, you're absolutely correct it's has nothing to do with xpack and more on elasticsearch side, thanks! Is there a link you can provide for that issue? I believe there should be --assumeyes or something similar, so one can use tool without tty.

"instructions on how to solve this" however is exactly same link as I mentioned in my initial post, I also described how change that you mentioned earlier to elasticsearch-plugin tool broke docker 6.3.0+ image (yes, even with x-pack image as well) and therefor one cannot do customized_image anymore...

Some plugins require additional security permissions. You have to explicitly accept them either by attaching a tty when you run the Docker image and accepting yes at the prompts, or inspecting the security permissions separately and if you are comfortable with them adding the --batch flag to the plugin install command. See Plugin Management documentation for more details.

See the --batch option?

even though I don't see --batch, I was able to pass step where it failed before...

Any advise there?)

Try

./bin/elasticsearch-plugin install --help

--force did the trick for me)

Try --force

$ ./bin/elasticsearch-keystore add-file --help

Add a file setting to the keystore

Non-option arguments:
setting [filepath]

Option             Description
------             -----------
-E <KeyValuePair>  Configure a setting
-f, --force        Overwrite existing setting without prompting
-h, --help         show help
-s, --silent       show minimal output

Thank you so much!
