  Free-electron lasers (FEL) are unique light source for different applications on the femto-second scale, including for instance the most basic reaction mechanisms in chemistry, structural biology and condense physics. Laser wake field acceleration (LWFA) mechanism allow to produce extremely short electron bunches of a few fs length with the energy up to a few GeV providing peak current of many kA in extremely compact geometries. This novel acceleration method therefore opens a new way to develop compact "laser-based" FELs. ELI beamlines is an international user facility for fundamental and applied research using ultra-intense lasers and ultra-short high-energy electron beams. In frame of this report we present conceptual solutions for an compact "LFWA" based soft X-ray FEL, which can deliver a photon peak brightness of 1031 ph/sec/mm2/mrad2/0.1%bw. A combination of this achievement with novel laser technologies will open a new perspective for the development of extremely compact FELs with few or even sub-femtosecond photon bunches for a very wide user community.
