Docker: latest tag not defined

[psiinon]

Describe the bug It is not possible to pull the latest version from docker without knowing exactly which version to use. Which is a complete pain and kind of misses the point of docker 😉

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. From the command line run: docker pull sasanlabs/owasp-vulnerableapp
2. See error:

Using default tag: latest
Error response from daemon: manifest for sasanlabs/owasp-vulnerableapp:latest not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown

Note that this is the exact command specified on https://hub.docker.com/r/sasanlabs/owasp-vulnerableapp

Expected behavior The latest version of the app should be downloaded

Additional context Specifying the exact version works, e.g. : docker pull sasanlabs/owasp-vulnerableapp:1.11.22

@psiinon we have removed latest tag a few months ago and major reason for that is docker pull not pulling latest changes. So what happens is that once we release latest tag, users who already have downloaded the latest tag will not get the newer updates until they don't remove the image from there local machine/host machine.

However, I think we can push latest image for now considering default behavior of docker pull of fetching latest tags
