Hey HN! I just released go-nbd, a lightweight Go library for effortlessly creating NBD servers and clients with Go. Its a neat tool for creating custom Linux block devices with arbitrary backends, such as a file, byte slice or what I’m planning to use it for, a tape drive. While there are a few partially abandoned projects like this out there already, this library tries to be as maintainable as possible by only implementing the most recent handshake revision and baseline functionality for both the client and the server, while still being useful. I’d love to get your feedback 🙂
