Systems configured to disallow running images as root aren't able to run images that use a username string value for the `USER` because they can't validate that a username isn't mapped to uid 0 (root). To allow images to run on such systems, use the uid of the user as the value for `USER` instead of the username. This has no downside when running in environments that do not do non-root validation. See `MustRunAsNonRoot` at https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/psp-to-pod-security-standards/ and kubernetes/kubernetes#56503
