I am not on a laptop but doing this on a remote server, so I am starting orion like this:

PREFECT_ORION_API_HOST=0.0.0.0 prefect orion start

Maybe set the ui api as follows: PREFECT_ORION_UI_API_URL: http://youClusterip:4200/api

thank you. what is the difference between exporting a shell variable and using 'prefect config set' ? maybe I should use the set command when starting orion also?

It's just how the local config is stored in ~/.prefect...
