Bug description

The default user for the rocker/shiny images is shiny and according to the documentation it should have user ID 999. But starting from version 4.4.2 this user has ID 997.
I am guessing this is not intentional since the documentation page has not changed.

How to reproduce this bug?

> docker run --platform linux/amd64 rocker/shiny:4.4.1 id -u shiny
999

> docker run --platform linux/amd64 rocker/shiny:4.4.2 id -u shiny
997

Thanks for pointing this out.
I think it would be worth removing the specific ID numbers from the documentation.
