I recommend using direnv over the edxenv bash script that I created above. It is easy to setup and use plus it can do more. I’ve created several files that I used in my setup here https://gist.github.com/ztraboo/d1e9cad3e9a9c03e75f2792922f887f2.
After direnv is configured I ran these steps to make it work. Thanks to @arbrandes for recommending this directory environment application. Using zsh from Mac OS X Catalina but you may prefer bash command.

Once the environment is setup you can just go to the ./devstack directory and launch make dev.up and your release specific containers will launch.
(venv)ztraboo@ztraboo-macbookpro devstack.ironwood % cd devstack
(venv)ztraboo@ztraboo-macbookpro devstack % make dev.up
bash -c 'docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-host.yml up -d'
