Is .NET Core ready to run on Raspberry PI 3?

I can find a lot of obsolete threads but a lot have been changed the last months.

Is there currently any possibility to run .NET Core and/or ASP.NET Core on Raspberry with Raspbian (currently Jessie) without Mono? Or what do I need?

I can find some dnvm samples, but I cannot find one tutorial which is up to date and uses the dotnet cli. I know Windows 10 IoT is planned for v1.1.0 but I can find nothing for ARM based CPUs. Also there is no Docker sample for ASP.NET Core on Raspbian...

Even http://dot.net shows only a Homebrew install command but how to install .NET Core 1.0.1 on Raspbian / Linux without Homebrew.

.NET Core is scheduled to run on ARM based OS like Raspian / Windows 10 IoT for Q4 2016 / Q1 2017. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/07/15/net-core-roadmap/

At this point of time I think you can follow the installations for Debian but you should get a exec format error IIRC.
