What varieties are you growing? From what I see it maybe hard to cage. Might be able to either set a support to tie them too or drop a string and attach for support. The best was is too plant compact types that need little if any support. Jay

I grew tomatoes in pots this shape & approximate size outside on year. For me, it was a succession of improvised supports over time.

Knowing the variety would help. As would knowing what's above that you could anchor string to.

I'd also recommend, since they're inside, removing the suckers to keep them form getting too out of hand, space-wise. But I'll defer to the tomato experts here!
