Why checkout to a specific version in Datasploit ?

Why did I checkout to specific version of Datasploit ?

As some modules of this tool depends on API keys provided by the user, there will be an error if the latest version of Datasploit [in the future] doesnt find an API key in the committed version of config.py file.

To temporarily avoid that, I have checked out to a specific version to make sure that the Dockerfile could be used at any time. Once a new update is available with additional API key spaces, I will manually updated the config.py file and checkout to the latest version at that particular time.

I think it is better to keep this issue open until the framework itself changes / updates its error handling mechanisms.

I was also informed that @anantshri has already raised an issue about the error handling mechanism. (DataSploit/datasploit#176)

This issue cannot be closed until the upstream issue is resolved.
