Comment (by dawuud):

 Bridge reachability tests is what i meant by suite of tests.
 OK... I updated the ooniprobe role to optionally install the bridge
 reachability cronjob...
 I've also updated the playbook to install tor via my tor-ansible role.

 Let's look at an assumption my ooni bridge reachability playbook makes:

 {{{
 ---
 - hosts: ooni-bridge-probes
   roles:
     - { role: ansible-tor,
         tor_distribution_release: "wheezy",
         tor_ExitPolicy: "reject *:*",
         sudo: yes
       }
     - { role: ansible-ooniprobe,
         ooni_user: "human",
         ooni_home: "/home/human",
         ooni_start_tor: "false",
         ooni_cron_bridge_reachability: true,
         sudo: yes
       }
 }}}

 The assumption here is that the server has got a user called "human"...
 Ansible needs a ssh login to all the machines it touches... so typically
 I use the same user that Ansible logs in as.
 However... do you want this ansible role create an ooni user?

 What else is required of this ticket?
