Abstract	One of the design of future electron-hadron collider eRHIC* is based on a 5-10 GeV high current energy-recovery linac (ERL) with possible extension of its energy to 20 GeV. This ERL will operate with high brightness electron beams, which do naturally match requirements for X-ray FELs and other next generation light sources. In this paper we present a number of possible scenarios which use eRHIC ERL in parasitic and dedicated mode for SASE, HGHG and oscillator X-ray FELs. We explore a possibility of optic-free X-ray oscillator in detail.
