Sandbox connector containers fail in a freshly cloned repo

[czeni]

Problem

In a freshly cloned repo, the sandbox's docker compose build creates connector images, which later fails due to missing .env files.

Possible solution

Add .env creation step to the sandbox documentation.

$ git clone [email protected]:Prometheus-X-association/dataspace-connector.git
$ cd dataspace-connector && cp .env.sample .env
$ cd sandbox/infrastructure
$ COMPOSE_BAKE=true docker compose build
$ docker compose up -d
