The issue I am facing:
pihole -up does not work without using the environment variable override on Rocky 9.3. If I pass PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true to the updater, it runs just fine and appears to otherwise work.
It looks like there's supposed to be some support for Alma/Rocky based on this commit: pi-hole/automated install/basic-install.sh at a3f1317add4dbc786c083302fb1c1bfb078e22ac · pi-hole/pi-hole · GitHub
but as of today, that code doesn't seem to exist: pi-hole/automated install/basic-install.sh at 60b6a1016c7f39e1db8359fc5874ae35d8c27ff9 · pi-hole/pi-hole · GitHub
(I do recognize that this may not be where all the OS detection happens, but it's what I found when I was searching to figure out if this was a supported path)
I know it's not explicitly listed on the supported OS table, but is this an intentional support loss for Rocky, Alma, and other EL derivatives that might use a similar detection logic?

If you are seeing this message and you do have a supported OS, please contact support.
https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/prerequisites/#supported-operating-systems
If you wish to attempt to continue anyway, you can try one of the following commands to skip this check:
e.g: If you are seeing this message on a fresh install, you can run:
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | sudo PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true bash
If you are seeing this message after having run pihole -up:
sudo PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true pihole -r
(In this case, your previous run of pihole -up will have already updated the local repository)
It is possible that the installation will still fail at this stage due to an unsupported configuration.
If that is the case, you can feel free to ask the community on Discourse with the Community Help category:

What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
off hand, but probably a lot more, this install technically predates gravity.db:
- Pi-hole tree copied from a CentOS 7 machine
- Nginx instead of Lighttpd
- SSL enabled on web
- NetworkManager used to configure several interfaces for
isc-dhcpd, including source routing
