Description
Hi,
I am currently writing a manuscript to be submitted to your great journal.
Unfortunately, I am having trouble compiling the paper.md: the guidelines (https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html) provide two ways but none seems to work for me.
- Github Action: my code is hosted on Gitlab for which this action does not exist.
- Docker, locally: the command seems to find the paper files etc., starts compiling, but stops at:
[INFO] Running filter /usr/local/share/openjournals/data/filters/self-citation.lua Killed
The error provides no other information to help be understand what is wrong.
Would you have an equivalent to the Github Action but for Gitlab?

Research direction
Start with the submitting guidelines at https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html and compare the documented GitHub Action and local Docker workflows. Reproduce the reported stop at the self-citation.lua filter, then determine the appropriate GitLab workflow or documentation change. Done means GitLab-hosted authors have a supported path or clear guidance for diagnosing the Docker failure.
