You'll have to use the mount function of your OS, we have no idea what you are running. Tipi has no built in option to add drives. However you can install cockpit and easily add a GUI to setup storage, networking, shares, etc.

I use Ubuntu server of Raspberry Pi imagee I have formatted the disk to see if that is the reason.

sudo fdisk -l will show you all of your 'recognized' disks

No, the applications do not detect it but the operating system does

what applications ? if you are trying to use a mount point on your host inside a container you need to map is in the docker-compose.yml for that application and I believe you'll have to use the user-config dir to do this so the changes stick
