[Answered ]-Django & Docker : manage dependencies between production & dev environment

2👍

You can control all the behavior of your application with environment variables from the host machine taking advantage of the variable substitution feature of docker compose. For example the POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD can be define as enviroment variables in you dev machine and in your deployment machine with different values.
Also you can have two different build images defined and using each one depending on env variable

build: ./project-${HOST}

and in project-dev have a Dockerfile with dev dependencies and in project-deploy another Dockerfile.
