Deploy ACL step fails

[lohrm-stabl]

Hey, the GitHub action worked 3 months ago - now it fails with a the following error message: wanted HTTP status code 200 but got 401.

Our CI config:

name: Sync Tailscale ACLs

on:
  push:
    branches: [ "main" ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ "main" ]

jobs:
  acls:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Fetch version-cache.json
        uses: actions/cache@v3
        with:
          path: ./version-cache.json
          key: version-cache.json-${{ github.run_id }}
          restore-keys: |

Most likely the API key has expired, they last for 90 days. A new one can be generated at https://login.tailscale.com/admin/settings/keys and replace the old one as the TS_API_KEY Secret for the action.

Yes, that was the problem.
Would be nice if there was a proper error message. Also I expected to get an email as soon as a key expires.
