Welcome to the Plex world ![]()
Maybe these support articles are a good starting point to get a good picture of how Plex works.

As for versions… you seem to have installed a fairly recent version of the Plex Media Server app.
The server app is running without a direct user interface and you’re already accessing it with one of the player apps – in this case the browser based web app.
While setting your server up, you can use a version of the web app that’s bundled with your server… this one is accessed using the server’s local IP address or localhost/127.0.0.1 if you’re on the same machine (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:32400/web). Afterwards you can also use the hosted web app which tends to be newer (though at the moment the two versions are fairly close to each other).
You can find an instruction on how to obtain server logs if you follow the highlighted orange link behind the word (server logs). The most convenient approach is to obtain the logs through the Plex web app – though the article also details where to find the log files if you cannot access the web app for some reason.
That being said… logs should only be needed if there’s a specific issue.
FYI, you only need a Plex Pass for some features. It’s pretty cool if you are a regular user, but don’t feel like it is necessary to get started.
