Chances are very high that you have a container writing internally to the image when it should be writing to a location mapped to the Unraid host.   As an example this frequently happens if the Plex transcode temporary location is not mapped externally, but it could be something else.

I’m using Jellyfin so it might be that, how do i find out what is causing this?

Using the Container Size button on the Dockers tab might give you a clue.   Failing that it is just a case of examining your dockers one-by-one to work out which ones might be creating data dynamically and checking where they are writing that data to on the basis that anything not mapped to an external location is going to be written internally to the docker.img file.

Still would like to know if its normal that some containers like readarr and sonarr are almost 2gb

It all depends on how the developer built the container and what binaries are included in it.   You could try asking in the support thread for a particular container.

Can i up my container size so i dont get these messages anymore?

 

You could, but if you do not know what is causing them the culprit could just end up consuming the extra space you give it.   In a sense you are just 'hiding' the underlying problem but if you do not mind using the extra space then it may be the easiest thing to do.
