  • Minimal dependencies for the basic server.

  • Liberal license BSD allows nbdkit to be linked to proprietary libraries or included in proprietary code.

  • Well-documented, simple plugin API with a stable ABI guarantee. Lets you export “unconventional” block devices easily.

  • You can write plugins in C, Go, Lua, Perl, Python, OCaml, Ruby, Rust, shell script or Tcl.
