host .net core api targetting net461

I built a .net core api.I have hosted it on IIS.The csproj is shown below:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

  <PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>net461</TargetFramework>
 </PropertyGroup>




 <ItemGroup>
 <Folder Include="Connection File\" />
<Folder Include="wwwroot\" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore" Version="2.1.6" />

</Reference>
<Reference Include="System.Web" />
  </ItemGroup>

As shown the api targets net461. Now my question is can i host it on linux or does it need to be targetted to multiple framework.targetting multiple framework is not an option as i need to depend on soap services.
