Several years ago I went looking for software with similar features and
started using phpalbum. http://www.phpalbum.net/

I think it does most of what you want except lossless rotation and slide
shows.

Interface is sparse and a bit clunky, but my family is able to use it
without problems. It also hasn't been updated in a while. If you
discover something better please tell the list.
