Hikyaku Documentation

The open operating system for delivery teams.

Everything you need to install, configure, and run Hikyaku — the self-hostable platform for dispatchers, drivers, and the customers waiting at the door.

Why “Hikyaku”?
Hikyaku were the express couriers of old Japan — relay runners who carried parcels between stations, station to station, hand to hand.
Your deliveries run the same relay. These docs are the stations.
