Distribute TypeDB as a NixPkg

[dhruvrajan]

Problem to Solve

Distribute idx as a nixpkg for usage in nix-based projects.

Current Workaround

Currently, the best way to use typedb as I understand it is to host an instance in a separate cloud environment, or pull the docker image into your local environment, rather than direct management via nix.

For example, Project IDX from Google is a pretty nice new dev setup that could benefit from the convenience of a nixpkg. Nix is otherwise gaining some steam especially in the functional programming + embedded software communities so it could be a useful method of distribution.

Proposed Solution

Additional Information

Would be happy to help out in setting this up, but you always want to make it an officially supported integration if that's possible. :)
