Add users via chat

[MBudkin]

Is it possible to add users via chat from the administrator?
So that you can quickly add a user and specify the necessary parameters for him.
It would also be cool if you could add users without restarting the server.

I really like this idea (as well as further admin commands that allow changing settings during run time).

Additionaly I want to suggest a "/getaccess" command for unallowed users that notifies the admin and gives him the option to add the user to allowed users and set up the budget(s). That would really streamline the process of adding new users.

This is a great idea!

We already have everything we need for the feature.
First, remove COPY . . from Dockerfile as we want mutable .env file.
In docker-compose we already using

    volumes:
      - .:/app

so, .env file is being used without copying

this snippet loads and updates a key in .env:

    import dotenv
    dotenv_file = dotenv.find_dotenv()
    dotenv.load_dotenv(dotenv_file)

    print(os.environ["MY_KEY"]) 
    os.environ["MY_KEY"] = "bar"
    print(os.environ['MY_KEY']) 

    # Write changes to .env file.
    dotenv.set_key(dotenv_file, "MY_KEY", os.environ["MY_KEY"])

@n3d1117, @AlexHTW what do you think?

Hi @ivanmilov, thanks for the input. I think the main issue is that docker run doesn't allow for a mutable .env because you have to pass the file in the initial command. Would it work with your suggestion or do you have any other ideas how to solve that?

run docker like this:
docker run -v .:/app

[ivanmilov]

Build the image
docker build -t my-test .

run with mutable files
docker run -it --rm -v `pwd`:/app my-test

@n3d1117 @AlexHTW take a look at this POC:
https://github.com/ivanmilov/chatgpt-telegram-bot/tree/add_user

works with python3 bot/main.py, docker run ... and docker compose up

I can continue in this direction, but I am not a Python dev, so there could be some code quality issues :)

I believe will be better if we add the users after they subscribe, integrated with Telegram Bot Payments https://core.telegram.org/bots/payments
