Docker image works, Kubernetes Pod not working. Ubuntu. Log: /bin/sh: [npm,start]: not found

I’m taking a course that uses Kubernetes and am running into an error when I try to create a pod in Kubernetes.

I’m using Ubuntu, AMD64

I installed microk8s.kubectl following these instructions (https://ubuntu.com/kubernetes/install)

Here’s my Dockerfile which runs correctly when I use only Docker.

FROM node:alpine

WORKDIR /app

COPY package.json ./
RUN npm install

COPY ./ ./

CMD ["npm", "start"]

Here’s my posts.yaml file, verbatim to the course I’m taking

apiVersion: v1

metadata:
  name: posts
spec:
  containers:
    - name: posts

I see the error coming from the log but I haven’t been able to find a solution. Thank you for your help!
