I've build a background task in my ASP.NET Core 2.1 following this tutorial: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/host/hosted-services?view=aspnetcore-2.1#consuming-a-scoped-service-in-a-background-task

Compiling gives me an error:

System.InvalidOperationException: 'Cannot consume scoped service 'MyDbContext' from singleton 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Internal.HostedServiceExecutor'.'

What causes that error and how to fix it?

Background task:

        // Run every 30 sec
        _timer = new Timer(DoWork, null, TimeSpan.Zero,
            TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));

        return Task.CompletedTask;

            // Run something
            await ProcessCoords(dbContext);

            if (user != null)
            {
                var now = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.ToUnixTimeMilliseconds();
                //expire time = 120 sec
                var coordTimeStamp = DateTimeOffset.FromUnixTimeMilliseconds(coord.TimeStamp).AddSeconds(120).ToUnixTimeMilliseconds();

                if (coordTimeStamp < now && user.IsOnline == true)

                {
                    user.IsOnline = true;
                    await dbContext.SaveChangesAsync();
                }
            }
        }
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        _timer?.Dispose();
    }
}
