 Very nice!

 ooniprobe.

 I would start with having it do what the planetlab deployment script used
 to do for setting up the cronjob.

 You can see that here:
 https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-
 probe/blob/master/scripts/install_on_planetlab.sh#L186

 You probably also want to configure ooniprobe the way it is configured in
 that script.

 > Do you have a suite of tests specified somewhere?

 By "suite of tests" you mean unittests? Those are part of ooni-probe and
 they can be run with trial. They are found in here:
