I've written a small library that allows you to run IHostedServices as a Windows service. The service is configured and run using Topshelf. https://github.com/erizet/TopshelfHosting

This discussion can be useful: https://github.com/Topshelf/Topshelf/issues/455

TLDR: There is no stable version for the .NETCore 2.1 and even when it will be available you need to use self-contained application.
