Hi Arjen,
Currently one can only add a reference to asp.net5 that is rebuilt with asp.net5 library.
In the case of EF6 with full .net library and not the core.
The problem seems to be the build versioning of the npgsql library for the full .net library.
It is emitting one thing but expecting another.
At least this is one of the problems.

I think you can use EF6, but not with .NET Core. It's possible to use Aap.net 5 without .NET Core.

I think you can use the stable version. EF6 support is very stable.

Just use this dependency in your project.json and "restore packages":
"dependencies": {
"EntityFramework6.Npgsql": "3.0.5",
...
}
The rest should be exactly the same as with SQL server.
