Temp folder runs out of inodes - linux

I have a LiteSpeed server with a Wordpress/woocommerce website on it.
Every few days my /tmp folder runs out of inodes, which effectively disables the website.
Here is what I get, after running df -i, please note the /dev/loop0 part.
root#openlitespeed:~# df -i

tmpfs 395M 0 395M 0% /run/user/0
The folder is full of "sess_" files.
Right now I constantly monitor the folder and issue:
find /tmp/ -mindepth 1 -mtime +5 -delete
Which kinda helps, but is not ideal.
How can I reconfigure to increase the inodes?
Where to look?
Edit:
I have redis, and it's enabled in LiteSpeed Cache plugin.
It's all on DigitalOcean VPS, with 2CPUs and 4 GB RAM. Ubuntu 18.04.
Why does it even have just 96k inodes with the size of 1.5G, when tmpfs has much more?

How to use SDB when sda is full

I am a beginner to linux. but I should install a blockchain node on ubuntu server(4T SSD).
SDA6 is only 500G and SDB is 3.5T. so I have to use SDB if sda is full.

tmpfs 2.4G 0 2.4G 0% /run/user/1003
please help, thanks in advance.
The steps are:
login as root
unmount and destroy LV ol-home (make backup if there are some files in home directory before operation)
extend LV ol-root and / filesystem to 300GB
Create LVs ol-var, ol-home, ol-tmp with relevant sizes and create filesystems for these LVs
edit /etc/fstab to mount the filesystems on startup

linux docker mount namespace

I use docker to create a container. When I enter the container, I can't see the overload related mount. This is normal,
root#django-work:~/test# docker run -it ubuntu /bin/bash
root#52110483ac09:/# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
overlay 49G 17G 30G 36% /
tmpfs 64M 0 64M 0% /dev
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup

But why can I see the complete mount information when I create a PID namespace and mount namespace through unshare

From the man page of mount_namespaces:
If the namespace is created using unshare(2), the mount list of the new namespace is a copy of the mount list in the caller's previous mount namespace.
You see the same output because when you do unshare you initially get a copy of the mount list. But if you make any changes in either namespace, those changes won't be visible in the other.

How to understand docker container disk space usage?

My host disk space usage is like this:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/rhel-root 50G 31G 20G 61% /
devtmpfs 5.8G 0 5.8G 0% /dev
tmpfs 5.8G 84K 5.8G 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.8G 9.0M 5.8G 1% /run
tmpfs 5.8G 0 5.8G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/rhel-home 1.3T 5.4G 1.3T 1% /home
/dev/sda2 497M 212M 285M 43% /boot
/dev/sda1 200M 9.5M 191M 5% /boot/efi
tmpfs 1.2G 16K 1.2G 1% /run/user/42
tmpfs 1.2G 0 1.2G 0% /run/user/0
After starting a docker container, the disk usage of this container is like follows:
# docker run -it mstormo/suse bash
606759b37afb:/ # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 99G 231M 94G 1% /
/dev/mapper/docker-253:0-137562709-606759b37afb809fe9224ac2210252ee1da71f9c0b315ff9ef570ad9c0adb16c 99G 231M 94G 1% /
tmpfs 5.8G 0 5.8G 0% /dev
shm 64M 0 64M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.8G 0 5.8G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 5.8G 96K 5.8G 1% /run/secrets
/dev/mapper/rhel-root 50G 31G 20G 61% /etc/resolv.conf
/dev/mapper/rhel-root 50G 31G 20G 61% /etc/hostname
/dev/mapper/rhel-root 50G 31G 20G 61% /etc/hosts
tmpfs 5.8G 0 5.8G 0% /proc/kcore
tmpfs 5.8G 0 5.8G 0% /proc/timer_stats
I have 2 questions about container disk usage:
(1) The tmpfs and /dev/mapper/rhel-root in container share the same disk/memory space with host directly?
(2) For rootfs of container, where does this file system exist? As printed, it has 99G, so I can use all the 99G disk space?
