Eos: Error 3040005: Expired Transaction when creating account

[aniketdivekar]

I'm following this tutorial and when creating account I'm getting below error

Error 3040005: Expired Transaction
Please increase the expiration time of your transaction!
Error Details:
transaction has expired, expiration is 2018-05-24T08:16:35 and pending block time is 2018-05-24T11:45:40.500

The only thing I did differently is instead of starting the node using command line directly, I used docker.
Any help would be much appreciated.

were you able to find a solution to Error 3040005? im having the same issue using a docker image as well

I have got the same issue when stale block production wasn't enabled for nodeos.
When I started ./nodeos -e -p eosio --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin --plugin eosio::history_api_plugin, issue was fixed.

Also, you can try to play with expiration -x argument.

although stale production and plugins were enabled in my config.ini, ./nodeos -e -p eosio --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin --plugin eosio::history_api_plugin fixed the issue.

Or you need to set producer-name = eosio in config.ini
