The LUX beamline is a novel laser-plasma accelerator. Building on the joint expertise of the University of Hamburg and DESY the beamline was carefully designed to combine state-of-the-art expertise in laser-plasma acceleration with the latest advances in accelerator technology and beam diagnostics. LUX introduces a paradigm change moving from single-shot demonstration experiments towards available, stable and controllable accelerator operation. In this overview talk, we present the various activities covered by our group. We discuss the general design concepts of LUX and present first critical milestones that have recently been achieved, including the 24h operation of the plasma accelerator with several 10.000 consecutive shots, and the generation of spontaneous undulator radiation at a wavelength well below 9 nm.
