I hope you found the solution for this problem.

In my case I used generic host (introduced in 2.1) for such purpose and then just wrap it up with systemd to run it as a service on Linux host.

I wrote a small article about it https://dejanstojanovic.net/aspnet/2018/june/clean-service-stop-on-linux-with-net-core-21/

I hope this helps
