Description
After i deleted a site using easyegine.
I tried creating a new website using this command
ee site create 134.122.104.246 --type=wp --cache
And i got the error below
`
Starting site creation. Configuring project. Creating WordPress site 134.122.104.246 Copying configuration files. Starting site's services. Warning: There was some error in docker-compose up. Warning: Initiating clean-up. [134.122.104.246 ] site root removed. Success: Site 134.122.104.246 deleted. Report bugs here: https://github.com/EasyEngine/site-type-wp

Thanks for the report. The site name in your command ended with an invisible non-breaking space (the docker error shows
134122104246 _data_postfix), so the create got as far as the docker volumes and then failed with a generic docker-compose error.Since EasyEngine v4.13.2 (site-command#509, site-type-wp#243), new site names must be valid hostnames: dot-separated labels of letters, digits and hyphens, at most 64 characters, with internationalized names in punycode (
xn--). A name like this one is now refused right away with an "Invalid site name" error, before anything is created.Please update with
ee cli update, and reopen this if you still see it.
