Automatically update adblock lists and GeoIP databases

[malexmave]

Right now, all updates of Adblock lists and GeoIP databases have to be done manually. Maybe having a script that does this once a week by itself would be nice - I don't think we need to perform any manual operations on the files to make them work with PrivacyScore.

This could be implemented as a management command called via cron, or something similar.

As now Privacyscanner is used instead of OpenWPM, there is the update_dependencies command, which implements the desired functionality.

This command also gets executed when the Ansible script update_hosts.yml is executed. Do you want to have a seperate script despite that or do you consider this issue as resolved?

The idea of this issue (supposedly) is to have some mechanism (e.g., cronjob) to periodically do this (at least once per week), so that it is not necessary to run the playbook manually. So at least the playbook should install a cronjob on the workers to trigger that command; with increasing number of workers, it might even be desirable to have some sort of decentralized dependency fetching, so that the upstream hosts are not loaded too heavy by us.
