Description

The ubi8/nodejs-18-minimal image references USER 1001 but this user does not get created by this image, not in its base image. This is different to the ubi8/nodejs-18 image which uses the uid 1001 which is created in its base image (ubi8/s2i-core). Is there a reason for this, or would it make sense to add this user into the minimal image to ensure similar functionality/experience? Thanks.
