How Do I Find the Date My Server Was Created?

Problem:
I filtered my film collection by last viewed before 2018, but I realized my history doesn’t go that far back because I’ve reinstalled Plex without having backup data.

I’d like to know the date when my current server first went online.

Troubleshooting:
I’ve done none because I have no idea where to start.

Look at the folder date of the main folders in your Plex data folder

Or you try this:
http://192.168.1.2:32400/status/sessions/history/all (can take a long time)
(replace the IP address with the actual local IP of your Plex server device)
The first <Video line of the output has the viewedAt value which holds the date of the first played item in UNIX epoch format.

To add to @OttoKerner here, there’s actually a more simple way

Browse to: https://plex.tv/pms/servers?X-Plex-Token=YOUR-TOKEN

To find your token, look here:

Locate the value named `CreateAt’ end enter that value here:
