New description:

 This ticket contains the final tasks that need to be integrated into the
 Ansible playbook for the managed deployment of check-01 (aka the exit
 scanner service):

 1. ~~Run tor service for check to have up to date records~~ done
 2. ~~Add cron job for check service to reload~~ done
 3. ~~Integrate DNS zone script into Ansible~~ done
 4. ~~rm everything, re-deploy, check it still works~~ done

Comment:

 Everything will redeploy OK, except for the "make start" step. I think
 this is just something we will live with because this has already dragged
 on too long. It's sufficient that we can quickly recover the service if
 needed.

 Step 5 will happen in #33508 and step 6 in #33510, so removing from the
 scope of this ticket.
