For Docker we're going to use environment variables passed through to the container to configure things like this, would what work for Vagrant too?

Yes, we can. There are two options

1. we can use the env line like below

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/xenial64"
  # config.vm.box_check_update = false
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8000, host: 8080
  # config.vm.network "public_network"
  # config.vm.synced_folder "../data", "/vagrant_data"
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade -y
    apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip
  SHELL
  config.vm.provision "shell",
    env: {"DEBUG" => "#{ENV['DEBUG']}"},
    run: "always",
    inline: <<-SHELL
      cd /vagrant
      pip3 install -r requirements.txt
      python3 manage.py migrate
      python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
    SHELL
end

2. We could create an env file to load:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/xenial64"
  # config.vm.box_check_update = false
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8000, host: 8080
  # config.vm.network "public_network"
  # config.vm.synced_folder "../data", "/vagrant_data"
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade -y
    apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip
  SHELL
  config.vm.provision "shell",
    run: "always",
    inline: <<-SHELL
      cd /vagrant
      source envfile
      pip3 install -r requirements.txt
      python3 manage.py migrate
      python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
    SHELL
end

While both of these examples would work, they're not perfect (I knocked them up in a couple of minutes) :)

I've added an environ_settings.py that will let you set certain config values from your environment variables. You can use it either by adding --settings=get_together.environ_settings to the end of your manage.py command, or by setting DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=get_together.environ_settings in your environment.

And example command would be:
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE='get_together.environ_settings' DATABASE_URL='sqlite:////path/to/your/db.sqlite3' SECRET_KEY='foobar' python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

DATABASE_URL follows this project's spec and requires pip installing dj-database-url (which is now in the requirements.txt).

I hope this does what you need it to do. If not, let me know what's missing.
