Nix sandbox for datahub

Introduction

database is not suitable for virtualization for it's io performance.

so we use simple nix package tool to install package and setup service on physical machine.

we declare it, then it works. see [sandbox.nix] file for details.

it install software on /nix directory, and run service on launchpad(darwin) and systemd(linux).

Roadmap

currently i already run all service on mac os. linux os will be tested and supportd will come sooner.
