Where to host a research blog with code, latex, images and markdown?


I want to keep a blog for my research in natural language processing with neural networks, so I need code highlighting, images, Latex, etc. It would be perfect if it was possible to just use markdown files for import and export of blog entries, and being able to host it myself.

Check out static site generators like Zola [0]

I use 'even' theme [1], which has math formula support using KaTeX (not sure if you need full latex support). I host it via GitHub pages. You can set up GitHub to point to your own domain. To host it yourself, copy paste the 'public' folder output from zola.

I use blogdown, which handles a lot of dumb bullshit that comes with static site generation. Also supports latex, markdown and you can use RStudio to create and preview posts.

https://scribbble.io has code highlighting, images and supports markdown. An export option is also available. However self hosting and latex is not supported.

What's worked for me is using Notion + cloudflare , see https://fruitionsite.com/ for tutorial.

Notion supports latex, images, markdown out of the box and is easy to maintain as well.
