If you havent change your .Cert key files check when those files was generated. Ill bet theres an docker command but dont know what that could be ---

Check the `storage` folder’s date of creation which gets created when you first started the node 🙂 ---

Only SN was first migrated to another machine, then twice to a larger disk … Also, key generation was not when SN was started … but this is closer to what I remember However, I still know approximately, not exactly ---

Same story here. Two nodes, that are most interesting for me were migrated few times. Any luck finding node age? ---

Now in the web dashboard the payment tab gives the node age for each satellite ![wiek_wg_satelity](https://lc-storj.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/5/52f5dc5fe1eb7a752471f0f2d24b258c7f31b2fd.png) ---

That number is incorrect for v1.5.2. The fix is included for v1.6.3 though. [https://github.com/storj/storj/commit/18914e4d1af9e79d9246c8172273e325bcb05b24](https://github.com/storj/storj/commit/18914e4d1af9e79d9246c8172273e325bcb05b24) ---

My version of the node (also a docker on Debian) is v1.5.2, and it seems to me that it showed in an earlier version … ---

It shows it, but it’s not correctly calculated in that version. It could be 1 or 2 months off. With v1.6.3 the number will be correct.
