    Update April 2021: See this comment for a smoother install of Wallabag 2.4.x. I'll leave this gist up for legacy.

Please note that this trick works with the latest release of Wallabag (2.3.7). There is no guarantee that it'll continue to work. Eventually, Wallabag will drop support of SQLite so this setup isn't future-proof.
Install Wallabag 2.2.3

This is the last version with SQLite support that works in a subfolder (like mydomain.tld/wallabag, although deploying Wallabag in a subfolder isn't officially supported). It will allow you to create an user and start the configuration. Get it here: https://static.wallabag.org/releases/, then tar xvf wallabag-release-2.2.3.tar.gz. If this release doesn't work, use the 2.2.2 one. Normally, you will have a file app/config/parameters.yml like that:
parameters:
    database_driver: pdo_sqlite
    database_host: 127.0.0.1
    database_port: null
    database_name: symfony
    database_user: root
    database_password: null
    database_path: '%kernel.root_dir%/../data/db/wallabag.sqlite'
    database_table_prefix: wallabag_
    database_socket: null
    database_charset: utf8
Create a new user, configure as your convenience.
Upgrade to Wallabag 2.3.7

In a distinct folder, install the latest release: wget https://wllbg.org/latest-v2-package && tar xvf latest-v2-package. By default, this release uses MySQL, so you must change the file app/config/parameters.yml:
parameters:
    database_driver: pdo_sqlite
    database_driver_class: null
    database_host: 127.0.0.1
    database_port: null
    database_name: symfony
    database_user: root
    database_password: null
    database_path: '%kernel.root_dir%/../data/db/wallabag.sqlite'
    database_table_prefix: wallabag_
    database_socket: null
    database_charset: utf8mb4
    domain_name: 'http://localhost/wallabag/web'
Note that for domain_name you must point it to the web folder without a trailling slash.
From here, you can follow the upgrade documentation:

Copy the SQLite database from your 2.2.3 folder to data/db/wallabag.sqlite.
Open it with an appropriate tool to apply the migration queries.

Just in case I copy these queries here:
INSERT INTO wallabag_craue_config_setting (name, value, section) VALUES ('share_scuttle', '1', 'entry');
INSERT INTO wallabag_craue_config_setting (name, value, section) VALUES ('scuttle_url', 'http://scuttle.org', 'entry');

Tweaks

At this point, you can erase the 2.2.3 folder and connect to the address domain_name. If you don't want that anybody else register a new account, you can put this at the end of the web/.htaccess file:
<FilesMatch ".*register$">
    Order Allow,Deny
    Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

Upgrade?

To upgrade Wallabag to a newer version, you'll have to save two files and a folder: data/, app/config/parameters.yml, and web/.htaccess. That's all.
But since Wallabag is about 125MB with 16,000+ files (that's more than Nextcloud!), it quickly become tedious to upload every new release on a SFTP. If your web hosting supports it, I advise you to use a SSH access.
Localhost?

This tutorial works on local XAMP if you take into account that there are many simlinks. You will have to replace them by hand if your XAMP does not follow them.
MySQL?

I didn't try with MySQL. I think if you follow this tutorial you may be able to get a working Wallabag 2.3.7 in a subfolder with MySQL as a database, as long as you use the migration queries.
